Janko & Itten warn Young Boys of 'incredible atmosphere'

Loris Benito received contrasting impressions of Celtic Park from two former Glasgow-based team-mates, but both told the Young Boys defender "the atmosphere is going to be incredible" on Wednesday.

Right-back Saidy Janko played for Celtic in the 2015-16 season after joining from Manchester United, while striker Cedric Itten was a title winner with Rangers in the 2020-21 campaign.

Top scorer Itten is a certain starter for the Champions League game, but Janko has been sidelined with a thigh injury since July.

"I did speak to them," defender Benito said. "I got very different answers, because one played for Rangers and the other one for Celtic.

"But what they were able to tell me is that the atmosphere is going to be incredible."

However, Benito pointed out that "it's going to be first" for Itten as well as he played at Celtic Park during the Covid pandemic.

"The first question I asked Cedric was how is the atmosphere and he said the only downside was that there were no fans in the stadium," he said.

"I think it's been a couple of years that Saidy has been here, so the team has changed quite a lot in those past."
