NOMME KALJU captain Maximiliano Ugge isn't giving up on his side's chances of pulling off a seismic shock and overturning Celtic's five-goal advantage in tonight's second leg Champions League qualifying tie.

The Italian concedes that he and his teammates face an almighty task to even give Celtic any kind of a scare this evening, but he hopes to at least make some sort of amends for a ragged display in Glasgow last week.

"You have to believe in what you do," Ugge said. "Anything can happen in football. I hope to score five goals, maybe even six. We know it won’t be easy but we’ll try our best.

"It’s not an easy moment after losing 5-0 in the first match but ever game is a new game and we have to think we can produce a better performance.

“I believe we can do better, both personally and as a team, and it’s a chance for us to show that. Everyone wants to play in a game like this against Celtic and the fans will give us more energy.

“If you make the kind of mistakes we did and lose concentration against this level of opponent - it’s not like the Estonian league - then 90 per cent of the time it’s a goal.

“We have to show we’re ready for the challenge. We are in front of our own fans and we don’t want to make them sad."

The locals don't seem to share Ugge's sense of optimism, with just 4000 fans expected to be in attendance tonight, but manager Roman Kozhukhovskyi is promising those who do turn out that they will see an improved showing on home turf.

Kozhukhovskyi said: “This tie is a big date on the calendar for us. We hope that our supporters come out to back us.

“It has been a very busy week for us with a lot of video analysis. We have studied that match and looked at the mistakes we made and where we went wrong.

“We had good discipline in Glasgow, up until the moment we lost the first goal. After that it became difficult for us very quickly. So, that’s something we need to think about for this match.

“Everything that happened in Glasgow was a good lesson for everyone at the club.
