St Johnstone defender Barry Douglas insists he is excited about the prospect of taking on Celtic in the Scottish Premiership match that kicks-off shortly…
The 35-year-old, as reported by STV said: “We’re under no false pretences. It’s going to be a difficult game. But these are the games that you want to play in and test yourself and show what you are made of. It’s exciting as cliche as that sounds.
“As underdogs you are already kind of written off”
“As underdogs you are already kind of written off, so there’s no reason not to go and play and express yourself. With all respect to Celtic, it’s just another football game. So if we have any kind of nerves or focus on them not as much as ourselves, then it will be a disaster.
“Of course it’s a big challenge”
“Look, of course it’s a big challenge, there’s no false pretences, it’s going to be a really difficult game, especially with what’s at stake for them and what’s a stake for ourselves. But we just need to give the best account of ourselves, hope they have a real off day and hope that everything that we work on kind of clicks.”
Here is the St Johnstone team to try to get something from the Champions.
