Scott Brown backs Celtic to beat Ajax

Celtic midfielder Scott Brown feels that his side are more than capable of picking up a positive result in Amsterdam.

Scott Brown has insisted that Celtic are capable of winning against Ajax in Amsterdam in the Champions League tomorrow night.

The midfielder, who will sit out the match because of suspension, believes that if his side put in a similar performance against the Dutch outfit to the one that they did a couple of weeks ago, then they can return to Scotland with all three points.

"It´s going to be hard to watch. The lads are going to have to go there and try to get goals and I have faith they can do it," he told the club's official website.

"I'm going over to Holland with them. It'll be difficult to watch but they've got a great chance. They showed what a good team they are when they played Ajax at Celtic Park. Ajax are renowned for their passing but we still managed to get the ball down.

"We know they want to play football. It's great to watch but we can put teams under pressure to make mistakes and it came off really well at home when we pressed them high up the park."

The Bhoys last travelled to Ajax in August 2001, when they ran out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Chris Sutton, Bobby Petta and Didier Agathe.
