Alfred Schreuder brushes off Celtic demolition of Rangers as Ajax boss issues pointed Eindhoven 'courage' reminder

Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder reckons that Celtic's dominant derby over Rangers will not be a factor in their Champions League group stage opener in Amsterdam.

Gio van Bronckhorst will look to pick up his players after their trouncing at the hands of their city rivals, with the 4-0 win at Celtic Park seeing Ange Postecoglou's men five points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. The Ibrox stars will have to put domestic matters to the back of their mind as they travel to the Netherlands with a tough test in store against the Dutch champions.

And Schreuder has played down any prospect of a derby day hangover for Rangers as the Ajax prepare to kick-off their Champions League campaign. He believes his side will learn more lessons from Rangers' play-off success over PSV Eindhoven as insists his side must be ready to face a formidable foe in their group stage opener.
