Hapoel Be’er Sheva winger Maor Buzaglo believes Celtic should be scared of them ahead of Wednesday’s game.

The Israeli was reportedly unhappy at the club due to his role in the side towards the end of last season, but is hoping to sink Celtic hopes of returning to the Champions League.

Has scored three goals in his last two appearances, but didn’t feature in either league in the last round of qualification for the Champions League against Olympiakos.

Buzaglo scored twice last weekend in Be’er Sheva’s 4-2 win over Maccabi Hafia in the Israeli Super cup and is in a confident mood ahead of the game.

As quoted by the Daily Record, he said:

We scare not only teams in Israel, but also in Europe like Celtic.

Be’er Sheva overcame Olympiakos in the last round and will travel to Glasgow today for the first leg, with the all-important second leg taking place next Tuesday in Turner Stadium.

The Israeli champions will be without captain and Israeli Player of the Year Elyaniv Barda on Wednesday after he suffered a groin injury.

Celtic have made the play-off stage in the previous two seasons but failed to progress against Maribor and Malmo and were forced to settle for the Europa League.
