Ex-Celtic star Charlie Nicholas has backed the Hoops to exact revenge on Cluj at Parkhead tomorrow evening.

Nicholas watched his former club lose out to the same outfit in their Champions League qualifier earlier this season.

Celts have been desperate to make up for their loss and prove it was a one-off.

Martin O'Neill thought Celtic star Petrov was masseur at first meeting - as he was so overweight

And while Nicholas, 57, has urged Neil Lennon's men not to take their visitors for granted, he does believe they'll have enough about them to take the three points.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: "Everyone in Glasgow is talking about revenge as Cluj put Celtic out of the Champions League. 

"They made it out to be a fluke, but you cannot lose 4-3 and say it is lucky. Cluj are a very clever side - they took on Lazio, who are one of the favourites for the Europa League, and reminded everyone of who they are with a smashing 2-1 win.

"Celtic gained a very good point at Rennes and could have come away with more. 

"The crowd at Celtic Park gives the players another five to 10 per cent and that's what will be the case here. 

"It will not be a rollover, it will be tight but think Celtic will just edge it - it could be late on when the goals come."

Prediction 2-1

Meanwhile Nicholas has also had his say on Rangers' opponents Young Boys.

The former striker has warned Gers to expect another tight contest.

He said: "Young Boys have always been a team that can take a scalp or two.

"Rangers have responded well to their tame performance against Celtic a few weeks back. 

"It was a statement of intent at the weekend as they hammered Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. 

"Steven Gerrard's players are taking his points on board. He wants to play with speed, aggression - how he played. 

"Rangers are not a bad side but they will only be getting 45-50 per cent of the ball as opposed to the 70 per cent they get in Scotland. 

"Rangers are in a good place and this result would mean an amazing start for them in the competition."

Prediction 1-1
