Moritz Bauer believes that the atmosphere at Celtic Park is better than Anfield.

The Austrian moved on loan to Celtic towards the end of the summer transfer window and has been involved in a three way fight to play at right-back.

Hatem Abd Elhamed and Jeremie Frimpong have had spells as first choice with Bauer mostly used as back-up.

The 28-year-old missed out on the Champions League but Celtic’s 2-1 win over Lazio in October brought back comparisons to the great European nights.

Speaking to Austrian publisher Krone Bauer said:

We are determined to win the next two titles which would make it ten-in-a-row and that would be special because it’s never been done before. The home games at Celtic Park are special. I would compare the atmosphere to Anfield, only it is even bigger here with 60,000 fans.

Close to 60,000 fans will be present tonight as Celtic enjoy a rare home match in their quest to win the SPFL title for the ninth season running.

Neil Lennon’s side have been on the road for six of their seven matches of 2020 but have won all of their games to open up a seven point lead at the top of the table and reach the last eight of the Scottish Cup.

The construction of the new main stand at Anfield, opened in 2016 raised the capacity of the stadium to 54,000.
