    Complete and utter nonsense. Ask Lennon and the players if there is pressure. We are not going to Milan for a jolly, we are going to win a game of football.

    Me personally I believe we are good enough for a point, we have the tools to cause them problems.

    Agree with hammer here

    Respect Milan and at the same time we are in it to win it.

    Forget about price tags and Celtic should fear no one

    Milan 1-1 Marseille
    Milan 0-1 Zurich
    Milan 1-1 Real Madrid
    Milan 2-3 Man Utd
    Milan 2-0 Auxerre
    Milan 0-2 Ajax
    Milan 2-2 Real Madrid
    Milan 0-1 Tottenham
    Milan 2-3 Barcelona
    Milan 2-0 Viktoria Plzen
    Milan 2-0 BATE

    Milan 0-0 Barcelona
    Milan 0-0 Anderlecht
    Milan 0-1 Zenit
    Milan 1-1 Malaga
    Milan 2-0 Barcelona

    Lost 6

    Although they've only conceded 2 goals in their last 9 home games.

    You really are missing the point. There is no pressure on us going to the San Siro in the group opener as no one really expects us to get anything. If this game was at Celtic Park there would be real pressure on us to get a result. All the pressure is on Milan in this game. They have had a really poor start in Serie A. The last thing they need is a Scottish team taking something off them in the San Siro.

    You keep reiterating your belief that there is no pressure, that is 100% not the case and if you asked the manager or the players they would tell you that.

    There is massive pressure for us to get off to a good start, AC Milan are not world beaters. We went to the Nou Camp last year and were minutes away from taking something. This is a game we will look to pick up points from and rightly so.

    Neil Lennon and the players will be feeling the pressure as they will believe they can do something. There is no real pressure from the fans or the media as we are playing Milan in the San Siro.

    Look what Juventus done to us last season. Italian teams are a nightmare. AC Milan beat Barcelona comfortably in the San Siro last season. Stop kidding yourself on. The best we can get is a draw and even then we would need an almighty slice of luck.

    What relevance does that have to you wrongly stating there is no pressure? What am I kidding myself on about?

    We will go out and look to beat Milan and rightly so, we are good enough to take points off them.

    We can win,lose or draw there. It will be difficult but we can get something out of them.

    You are kidding yourself on thinking we can beat AC Milan in the San Siro. We have lost all of our recent group stage games away from home bar one great result against Spartak Moscow. You might think I am wrong saying there is no pressure. That is your opinion, not a fact. All the pressure is on AC Milan. No one would blink an eyelid if they hammered us 4-0.

    You are spouting nonsense after nonsense :56:

    There is pressure, it is a fact and not once have I said Celtic will beat Milan in the San Siro.

    I agree. We're aiming to qualify, whether you've written us off or not. Taking points off the second seed is an absolute must. We can't pin all our hopes on beating them at home as they're a very good side.

    Barcelona away was probably our second best performance of last season. The three goals we conceded to Barcelona were all in added time.

    Quite a few would blink an eye lid if we got pumped 4-0 in the san siro, Milan are a better team than we are and i tend to think we will probably get beat but it will be by a single goal i think.

    Having seen the game against torino last night the thing we have over this milan side is heart and work ethic, their front line are some bunch of lazy *. The problem is they are all top quality and you could say they don't need to be hardworking if they are on form.

    I don't think AC will dominate possession either, i think they will allow us the ball in our own half and then close down as we cross over into their territory. If we can isolate their full backs and then get good movement behind Zapata we can score a goal or two.

    I am spouting nonsense ? Your the one talking nonsense. Expecting us to get something in Milan. Celtic under pressure to get a result against AC Milan in the San Siro ? Under pressure not to be on the wrong end of an absolute pounding more like :smiley-laughing002:

    Be more realistic. You expect far too much. Don't say you never said we would get anything. By saying there is pressure you are suggesting there is a level of expectancy that we will get something in the San Siro. Not a chance. We will get beat. I have come to terms with it.

    People called me negative when I said Juventus will probably score in the first few minutes at Celtic Park and finish the tie. I am not negative. I am a realist.
