Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo is buzzing for the start of the Champions League.
The backup ‘keeper is yet to make his debut in green and white but can’t wait for Europe’s premier club competition to kick off.
The Hoops begin their league phase campaign at home to Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava tomorrow evening.
Following Wednesday’s clash, Brendan Rodgers’ men have back-to-back away matches against Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta, so it is essential that they pick up three points on matchday one.
Although Bratislava are no mugs, the Scottish Premiership champions arguably couldn’t have picked a better opening-day match-up.
Celtic Park will be rocking tomorrow evening, and Sinisalo can’t wait for the European campaign to begin. He took to Instagram late last night to express his excitement:

It remains to be seen when the Fin will make his competitive Celtic debut.
Sinisalo played a few times in pre-season, but since he joined the Hoops from Aston Villa in the summer, Kasper Schmeichel has played every game.
It will be difficult for the 22-year-old to replace the veteran Dane in the team, but as any backup goalkeeper should, he must remain primed to step in in case of mishaps.
Sinisalo is patiently awaiting his Celtic chance, although with Schmeichel’s form, one can’t see him getting it soon.
