KI SUNG-YUENG believes Celtic will have to rely on their home games if they are to progress out of their difficult Europa League group.
The Hoops warmed up for the visit of Udinese this week with a 2-0 Premier League win over Inverness at Parkhead on Saturday.
After losing their opening Group I fixture to Atletico Madrid 2-0 in Spain earlier in the month, Ki is looking for Celtic Park to inspire the players in the games against the Spanish club and Rennes, following this week’s visit of the Italian outfit.
“We have just played one game and if we win against Udinese we still have a chance,” said the 22-year-old South Korea international.
Midfielders Joe Ledley and James Forrest took the pressure off with their first-half strikes to keep the Parkhead men four points behind SPL leaders Rangers and Ki admits everyone in the Hoops engine room needs to chip in with goals.
On the subject of goals Maurice Edu has vowed to chip in with some more following his superb strike in Rangers’ 4-0 win over Dunfermline in the Premier League on Saturday.
The midfielder netted from an impressive long-ranger after fellow American Carlos Bocanegra had opened the scoring at East End Park, before Steven Naismith grabbed a double to ensure a comfortable victory.
