Celtic kick off their campaign in the group stages of the Europa League tonight.
Christopher Jullien has issued a rallying call to his Celtic team-mates.
Neil Lennon’s side kick off their Europa League campaign with a tricky trip to Rennes in France this evening.
The Ligue 1 side are second in France’s top flight and have already beaten Paris Saint-Germain this season, making it a potentially-ominous test for Celtic.
But Jullien, a £7 million signing by Lennon this past summer [The Scottish Sun], has issued a passionate pre-game message for his team-mates ahead of the clash.
With Jozo Simunovic out through injury, Jullien, who endured a slow start to life at Celtic, is expected to start at centre-back.
The Bhoys will be motivated to win nonetheless, but harsh words from Charlie Nicholas might add to Celtic’s motivation after the Sky Sports man claimed that his old club ‘get scared’ away from home in Europe.
Victory would set Lennon’s side up very nicely over reaching the last 32 of the competition. Yes, this is only the first group game, but a strong start is imperative nevertheless.
