Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner believes that the Bhoys will progress if they can win and keep a clean sheet tonight.
Celtic face-off tonight against Malmo in the first-leg of the play-off round of the Champions League and everyone is expecting a Celtic win.
The Irishman, who played for Celtic for 20 years, making 641 appearances wants to see much of the same from Celtic in Europe this season against Swedish side Malmo, via BBCSport.
If Celtic go to Sweden with one goal and a clean sheet, I think they will go through,” said Bonner.
They’re much more compact this year. That was the making of them in getting through the last round – a clean sheet at home. It’s the key objective. I expect Celtic to score, but having that clean sheet sets them up for that second leg.
You’ve got to take the whole tie over the two legs. You can’t just go out all gung-ho and try to score goals and then leave yourself open. They proved against Qarabag in the last round that they can go there and defend.
The crowd is going to play a big part tonight. I’m sure it’s going to be a full house and they will create that atmosphere that we love at Parkhead.
Bonner also weighed in on the dilemma facing manager Ronny Deila ahead of this game over who to start up front.
They bought him (Ciftci) to start,” he added. “If they play a compact game, they need someone they can hit up front who can hold the ball up.
Leigh Griffiths has played well and scored goals, but I don’t know if he can do the same job of holding it up and getting players up to support.
