CFR Cluj goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis has told The Glasgow Evening Times that his side can get the better of Celtic this evening.

Celtic will take on Cluj at Celtic Park in Europa League Group E on Thursday evening.

The Hoops were knocked out by the Romanian club in the Champions League qualifiers.

Ahead of this evening’s match at Celtic Park, 31-year-old goalkeeper Arlauskis has said that he is confident that his side can pick up all three points, and hopes that the Glasgow giants underestimate them again.

Arlauskis told The Glasgow Evening Times: “Maybe Celtic underestimated us a little bit. We hope they do it again. It’s not easy to play in this wonderful stadium but we will be confident after the last time.

“It was a crazy game against Celtic the last time with a happy ending for us. It was a big pressure match for us because we wanted to qualify for the Champions League.

“Now we can enjoy the game a bit more because the pressure is not so much. But the target is to win – just like last time.”

Celtic are favourites

Cluj are a good team, but Celtic are a strong side as well, and manager Neil Lennon will be confident of winning this evening.

Celtic Park can be very intimidating for opposition teams, and with Cluj in town, the fans will want to make sure that the team get revenge for their Champions League qualification exit.

Celtic will head into the match against Cluj this evening on the back of a 1-1 draw with Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership.
