Celtic are set to welcome Red Bull Salzburg to Parkhead for their final Europa League group stage game.
Red Bull Salzburg manager Marco Rose is under no illusions that his side are set to face a rather unique atmosphere on Thursday night.
The Austrian Bundesliga champions are heading to Parkhead for the final game of the Europa League group stages and are set to come up against a Celtic side who need one point to seal their place in the knockout rounds.
In quotes reported by the Daily Record, Rose has paid tribute to the world-renowned Hoops supporters.
“Obviously Celtic will have more supporters than the last game in Salzburg but that is what we are looking forward to, the atmosphere,” said 42-year-old Rose, a manager renowned for his high-octane attacking style.
“It is a very cool stadium, you can feel the atmosphere even without the supporters. Even in the locker rooms you can breathe in the atmosphere.
“The supporters are notorious, amazing.”
Fortunately for Salzburg, they have very little riding on their trip to Glasgow. Salzburg have won all five of their Europa League group games so far this season, having reached the semi-finals in 2017/18 only to be knocked out in controversial fashion by Marseille.
Celtic, however, face a make-or-break night. If Brendan Rodgers’ side lose at home, they are running the risk of an early exit if RB Leipzig beat Rosenborg.
The Hoops lost 3-1 in Austria against Salzburg back in October, taking the lead through Odsonne Edouard before being ripped apart by a Munas Dabbur-inspired comeback.
