New Celtic signing Jeremy Toljan has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he has heard a lot about the Parkhead atmosphere.

Toljan played at Celtic Park for the first time in midweek, as he impressed in a 2-0 victory over Hibernian.

The right-back claimed an assist, as Celtic picked up a comfortable three points.

It is in midweek when Celtic Park is all set to be at its most atmospheric though.

Celtic are due to host Valencia in the Europa League and they will need their supporters to give them a great deal of backing.

Celtic go into the game as heavy underdogs, but Toljan is looking forward to hearing Parkhead at its best.

“I’ve heard a lot about the atmosphere being crazy and I enjoyed it a lot,” he said.

“It’s always important to win and as a defender have a clean sheet and I hope we can keep that up in the next week.

“This has been an exciting few days, but it’s a nice team they have accepted me right away.”

Toljan looks likely to start for Brendan Rodgers’ side on Thursday evening, as they aim to pull off an upset.

Celtic have one more game to play before they are in European action, with the Bhoys set to take on St. Johnstone on Sunday.
