Celtic fans are sharing their confidence ahead of the club’s Europa League tie against Lazio on Thursday.
The Bhoys travel to Rome for a rematch of the reverse fixture which Celtic came back from a goal down to be triumphant 2-1 winners in Parkhead, through goals from Ryan Christie and Christopher Jullien.
It’s almost certainly going to be a feisty encounter in Southern Italy but Hoops fans on Twitter are adamant their side can come away with three points.
Only one team to back ?

The game is marred by potential unrest in the Italian capital, but that hasn’t stopped Celtic fans from cracking a few pre-game funnies.
So far celtic have told traveling fans avoid walking about alone, avoiding wearing team colours, avoid certain areas, no drink, dont walk to stadium, mass crowds aren’t allowed in the centre of rome, avoid crackpots with knives and dont smile… apart from that enjoy yourselves

Tell the Roman paramedics they’re in for a busy night

With all the negativity about how many Celtic fans will be ‘done in’ in Rome, I actually think we will win over there ???

What do we think?
Let’s hope by the end of Thursday we’re only talking about the football and nothing else. Despite losing their last encounter, Lazio looked a very strong team and Celtic fans may need to lower expectations for this one. That said, the entire team fought very hard for the victory and if they can repeat the same energy levels in Rome, then any result could be possible.
