Agreed It becomes intimidating if we win. We're improving under a model and manager that look like they can continue that improvement. I think other teams / managers appreciate that we were formerly Euro giants and are now disadvantaged for financial reasons, similar to Ajax (amongst others). The fact that guys that have played all over the world in the biggest tournaments love coming to CP is a great thing. Feck, if we lose that, what do we have?

Quite a few people on this thread are getting confused about getting 100% behind Celtic - which is why the atmosphere is recognised around the world. A few seem to want us to migrate towards an atmosphere more associated with Turkish teams - hate the opposition. I went to Fenerbache and atmosphere wasn't a patch on Celtic Park (albeit Europa league). Anyone who thinks professional players are intimidated are kidding themselves. We back our team and give that extra bit to our players. Ever since I was a boy I've loved the noise and spontaneity of European nights - singing breaks out anywhere in the stadium - not solely driven by the GB. How we welcome other fans helps how we are welcomed on our travels in Europe. That's why we were able to mix in the home ends in Borrusia and Munich. |

I think the atmosphere plays a large part. Up until recently, the difference between our home and away record tells its own story, and we would never have taken many of the scalps we have without that atmosphere. Edited by Kingslim, 3 Nov 2017, 09:47 AM.

This for me. To truly appreciate the highs you need to experience the lows. That's why I'll always savour the CL nights. That one minute after we scored versus Bayern is the reason we follow Celtic week in week out. |

One of our supporters ran on and tried to volley a PSG player, right? I didn't just imagine that? Not sure how much more intimidating we can go. Firearms, maybe. |

No one is cheering the CL anthem. What a ridiculous comment. They ar cheering the team and attempting no to build the atmosphere to encourage them in pre-match. As for the ‘intimidating’ comment.. what do you want to do.. missiles, attacks on players? Are you the guy who tried to boot the PSG player? Edited by TheSaint, 3 Nov 2017, 10:09 AM.

Agreed I don't think it's patronising and it seems a strange thing to complain about. Just thinking about this in a domestic context "Thanks for a lovely dinner" "eff off you patronising carrot" |

Could maybe get someone to run on and tickle a goalkeeper under his chin? That's intimidating as feck. 12 fines in 10 years needs to be the next TIFO, let them know what they're up against.

I think when the atmosphere at CP is such a hot topic in a country like Germany, where the footballing atmosphere is one of the best in the world, you've got to accept it as a massive compliment and take some pride in it. |

Speaking to Bayern supporters before the match, they're not overly impressed by the atmosphere in Munich. Some of the places I've been to are very good though it often does completely rely on ultras- which is true for run of the mill matches at Celtic Park too, Tuesday was of course different. |

Can't believe people see the Celtic park atmosphere and the plaudits it receives after a big European game as anything other than positive. Same goes for some of the world's best players or teams looking forward to sampling it due to its reputation. Its tremendous to be there. Hopefully in time it's only the good memories opposition teams mostly leave with. |

I'm not overly keen on all the praise or backslapping but at the same time don't underestimate the effect the atmosphere has. I've absolutely no doubt that the atmosphere gave the team a boost to be able to perform like they did which proves the importance of the atmosphere and the role fans have to play. The way we look at it is we have a job to do in the stands. We can only do so much to help the team on the park, so long as we do our part then the rest is in their hands. |

This is it, the idea that we can somehow change the atmosphere to be more focused on 'getting a result' is flawed imo. People's perception of whether that atmosphere is intimidating or enjoyable is largely rooted in the context created by the result, Bayern wanted out of there on Tuesday after their second and the atmosphere probably contributed to that. It's the same in regards to the media and other teams praising it, I dont think anyone felt patronised by the comments after the Barca or Man U games of times past. |

That's it for me. I think the publicity and praise from others helps reinforce how special European nights at Celtic Park can be. It builds up on the image "Celtic Park on European nights....". I love walking towards the stadium in the dark with a light mist and seeing the floodlights. There's just something magical about it. People go along wanting something special - to live that historical moment. That in turn makes them more likely to contribute to the atmosphere. It's why on European nights you get that spontaneity around the stadium. I'll admit myself to getting more involved in European nights than I would at normal SPL games. The GB displays before the game build the anticipation even further. Most of the SPL games we rely on the GB to keep the atmosphere going because people are not as charged as they are on European nights. I hope we never lose that love we have for the team by wanting to flip towards a hate filled cesspit to intimidate the opposition. |

It becomes intimidating if we win. We're improving under a model and manager that look like they can continue that improvement. I think other teams / managers appreciate that we were formerly Euro giants and are now disadvantaged for financial reasons, similar to Ajax (amongst others). The fact that guys that have played all over the world in the biggest tournaments love coming to CP is a great thing. Feck, if we lose that, what do we have?
