Martin O'Neill reckons tonight's Champions League clash with RB Leipzig is not only a 'must-win' for Celtic but a 'will win'.
The former Parkhead boss believes Celtic created enough chances in Germany last week's 3-1 defeat to be confident that they can get at Leipzig with the backing of a 60,000 capacity crowd in Glasgow's East End. O'Neill was back in the city he made home for five years between 2000-2005 as he helped launch William Hill’s newly transformed, state-of-the-art shop on Gordon Street and he insisted that despite having taken only one point from their first three Champions League matches, Europe's elite competition is where they - and Rangers - have to be competing.
The Northern Irishman said: “It’s absolutely vital for them to be in the Champions League and also for Rangers as well. Two teams playing in the Champions League, you know you talk about the experiences, both clubs will be better for it this season. It’s so important for Scottish football. This is really a must win game for Celtic because if Leipzig get too far in front of them now then that’s going to be very, very difficult to overcome. This is the must win, so there’s no point in talking about any other fixture other than this one.
