Michel Platini: 'Juventus will beat Celtic'

UEFA president Michel Platini has said that Juventus will have no problem in disposing of Celtic in their Champions League tie.

The teams have been drawn to face each other in the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition, but Platini believes that is as far as the Hoops will go.

"If we look at the Champions League draw, it's clear that Juventus are already through to the quarter-finals," the Daily Mail quotes the Frenchman as saying.

Platini played for Juve between 1982 and 1987.
