Mikael Lustig expects Celtic to go through against Stjarnan

Lustig expects Celtic to go through

Celtic defender Mikael Lustig has tipped the team to see off Stjarnan and progress in Champions League qualifying.

The Hoops face the Icelandic champions in Gardabaer tonight having earned a 2-0 win in the first leg of the second-round tie last week.

Lustig is refusing to write off the home side, but he is confident that Celtic are good enough to go through.

"It's going to be a different game," he told the club's official website. "The stadium is not going to be the biggest and you never know what the weather will be like but that's football.

"We don't know what their pitch will be like or whether they'll water it or if the ball will run slow. It could be quite sticky.

"If they score they'll get energy but hopefully we're going to win and we should win away. You want to get that goal. This is a team that we should beat and we're going to try to play our game and win it. They fought really hard at Celtic Park but it's a team that we should beat."

Celtic will face either FK Qarabag or FK Rudar Pljevlja in the third round of qualifying if they beat Stjarnan.
