Brendan Rodgers side take on the Israeli side in the Champions League this week.
Celtic’s Kolo Toure arrives before the match
Celtic defender Kolo Toure has told the club’s official website that they will battle and fight in their second leg with Hapoel Be’er Sheva.
The Scottish champions travel to Israel for the second leg of their Champions League qualifying clash this week.
They travel in confident mood, having secured a 5-2 victory at Celtic Park in the first leg last week.
That result saw them all but secure their place in the group stages of the competition, meaning there is a slight risk of complacency creeping into Brendan Rodgers side.

But Toure has promised that they will give everything to ensure that they win the game.
“It’s going to be a really interesting game,” he told the club’s official website.
“We know it’s going to be a tough game but we will go for it. We will battle, we will fight and we will give everything we’ve got to win.”

It now remains to be seen how Celtic perform in the second leg after their performance at Celtic Park.
The 5-2 win all but means that the tie is over, but Hapoel showed in the first leg that they are capable of hurting Brendan Rodgers side.
Indeed, the Hoops will likely be acutely aware of they given the scare they were given as Celtic Park and Toure’s comments hint they will not make the same mistakes again.
