Swiss international Ardon Jashari has insisted that Celtic's famous Champions League white-hot atmosphere holds no fear for Club Brugge ahead of tomorrow's showdown.
The Hoops welcome the Belgian side with both teams boosted by big weekend wins.
Celtic eventually powered to a 4-1 win at Hearts, but Club Brugge romped to a 7-0 win against Sint-Truidense in their league too.
And Jashari, who cost Brugge £6 million in the summer from homeland club Luzern, insists they won't be intimidated by the Parkhead crowd.
He said: "There were no celebrations after the weekend win because we have a difficult away match against Celtic on Wednesday.
"And we know that the Scots can be very strong at home.
"It is up to us to silence their fans.
"I thought we played very well and it was the perfect way to prepare for such an important match."

Jashari added: "The most important thing for us was it showed we could bounce back so well to what was a disappointing result at Beerschot in our previous game.
"We had to react and we did.
"Now we have to show we can perform at the same level in Glasgow.
"A win at Celtic would be a big step to reaching the next round."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
