The Scottish champions travel to the Nou Camp in the Champions League in midweek.
Celtic’s Moussa Dembele celebrates scoring their fourth goal and completing his hat-trick
Celtic star Moussa Dembele has told Goal that they are capable of going to Barcelona and getting a result.
The Hoops warmed up for the start of their European campaign in fine fashion on Saturday as they beat rivals Rangers 5-1 at Celtic Park.
Their attention now turns to the Champions League and attempting to secure a positive result from a tough trip to the Nou Camp.

Not many are expecting them to do so although the Hoops do have a history of shocking the La Liga giants in the competition.
And Dembele insists they are capable of getting a positive result from the game.
“We are capable of going to Barcelona and getting a result,” he told Goal.
“We are going there to give everything to come away with something. “When you start any game of football, even if it is against the best in the world, you have to show that you belong and give everything to get a result.”

The win over Rangers was certainly the perfect way for Celtic to warm up for this game and will see them heading to Spain full of confidence.
A further boost to their hopes will be the performance of Alaves, who went to the Nou Camp as huge underdogs but pulled off a surprise 2-1 win against the reigning champions.
They showed that Luis Enrique’s side can be beaten and that should give Brendan Rodgers side hope that they can do the same.
