CELTIC will play in front of a sold out crowd in Russia tomorrow night as they try to dump Zenit out of the Europa League in their own backyard.

Coming off a 1-0 win at Celtic Park the players are in good spirits but know they face a different animal in St Petersburg.

While the game is a sell out, a section of the stadium will be closed off after UEFA disciplined the club for a racist banner unveiled at a previous Europa League tie.

It’s going to be a noisy stadium, all the same, something the Celtic players will be used to.

It’s shaping up to be a fantastic night of football.
