Brendan Rodgers insists Celtic have Europa League tunnel vision and won’t be spooked by Red Star’s infamous atmosphere.
The Hoops kick off their campaign in Belgrade on Wednesday night against the Serbian powerhouses in their notorious 50,000 strong Marakana Stadium.
Celtic players will make the 100-yard walk through the ominous graffiti covered underpass beneath the ultras section before kick-off.
Rodgers is convinced his men won’t be intimidated – and he’s told the Hoops to lap it up.
The Irishman said: “Just embrace it. I've obviously heard the walk takes about two minutes.
“I'll have to speak a bit quicker at half-time! It's just amazing. What an amazing occasion to come and play at a really historic stadium and everybody goes with it.
