Emanuel Mammana: 'Zenit St Petersburg will learn from mistakes against Celtic'

Zenit St Petersburg defender Emanuel Mammana suggests that Celtic should expect a tougher test from the Russian side in the second leg of their Europa League last-32 tie.

Defender Emanuel Mammana has suggested that Zenit St Petersburg will learn from their mistakes during the second leg of the Europa League last-32 tie with Celtic.

Last week, a late goal from Callum McGregor secured a 1-0 advantage for the Scottish Premiership side ahead of the second leg, which will be staged in Russia on Thursday.

However, Zenit remain the favourites to progress and Mammana has claimed that he and his teammates will be able to overturn the deficit "without any issues".

The 22-year-old told the club's official website: "We made a lot of mistakes at Celtic Park, we have carefully analysed what went wrong and watched the video.

"We've studied all aspects of their game to understand why it didn't work out as we planned and to make the most of the 90 minutes we have at St Petersburg Stadium. It's only half time in the battle and the result is still unclear. We made quite a lot of mistakes during the match. Some very simple ones.

"We will work on controlling the ball, passing, we will correct our mistakes and then in St Petersburg, I think we will win without any issues. We must always win at home. We are absolutely focused on the result and I hope the fans will help us with this too. I'm sure Celtic will feel the atmosphere in our stadium is comparable to theirs."

Mammana is currently in his first campaign with Zenit, having penned a five-year contract last summer.
