Charlie Mulgrew ready for "massive" AC Milan clash

Celtic midfielder Charlie Mulgrew has insisted that his side are prepared for their crucial Champions League meeting with AC Milan.

The Hoops will be knocked out of the tournament if they lose to the Italians at Celtic Park, but Mulgrew is confident they can record a positive result in front of their home fans.

"It's massive; it's a must-win game for us. The pressure's always on, for all the games at Celtic, especially at home," UEFA.com quotes him as saying.

"Hopefully the crowd will get behind us and we can get the win. It's going to be difficult but I'm sure we'll be well prepared. We want to finish second and go as far as we can in this competition.

"We'll need to match them. Even if they have a couple of injuries, they have world-class players that can come in. It's going to be difficult for us to match them but we'll have to do that."

Celtic suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ajax in their last Group H match.
