Roy Chipolina is confident that Lincoln Red Imps can pull off the greatest result in their history by knocking Celtic out of the Champions League.

The champions of Gibraltar have been the centre of attention since beating the hoops 1-0 to pile the pressure onto Brendan Rodgers side.

Celtic are expected to hand out a swift dish of revenge tonight but Imps skipper Chipolina is in the mood for an even bigger shock than last week’s.

We are going there with confidence,” he said looking towards tonight’s clash. “If we have the game of their lives and Celtic have a poor game it can happen.

It happened over there. Why not here? We have our own preparations and our own plan. We are all looking forward to playing Celtic at Celtic Park. It’s one of those stadiums everybody wants to play in.”

Chipolina added: “It’s like going from Sunday league to Celtic Park in three years. It’s what dreams are made of.

Last week was historic. Half of Gibraltar is still in shock. It’s more special for us going there with a lead to defend rather than going there after a 4-0 defeat. We’ll enjoy it more.

All the media attention we are getting it is all new to us. The lads are really enjoying it. Now we have the win on Celtic under out belts, our name is on everybody’s lips in Europe. It’s great for business.

We have always been a club that works hard even in the so-called amateur days. The manager that has come in now, Julio, has a great CV. Tactically he has got us a lot better.

Everyone in Gibraltar has commented on how well we were set up against Celtic.”
