'It is up to us to silence them' says Club Brugge star ahead of UCL

Swiss international Ardon Jashari has insisted that Celtic's famous Champions League white-hot atmosphere holds no fear for Club Brugge ahead of tomorrow's showdown.

The Hoops welcome the Belgian side with both teams boosted by big weekend wins.

Celtic eventually powered to a 4-1 win at Hearts, but Club Brugge romped to a 7-0 win against Sint-Truidense in their league too.

And Jashari, who cost Brugge £6 million in the summer from homeland club Luzern, insists they won't be intimidated by the Parkhead crowd.

He said: "There were no celebrations after the weekend win because we have a difficult away match against Celtic on Wednesday.

"And we know that the Scots can be very strong at home.

"It is up to us to silence their fans.

"I thought we played very well and it was the perfect way to prepare for such an important match."

Jashari added: "The most important thing for us was it showed we could bounce back so well to what was a disappointing result at Beerschot in our previous game.

"We had to react and we did.

"Now we have to show we can perform at the same level in Glasgow.

"A win at Celtic would be a big step to reaching the next round."
