Defender Mark Wilson believes his former club Celtic can defeat FC Shakhter Karandy in their next Champions League play-off tie, he told BBC Radio Scotland.

"When the final whistle went in Astana I was still pretty confident of Celtic going through," said the Scottish footballer. "Celtic Park, where the second leg of the play-offs will take place, is an intimidating place to go for any team, especially for a team that haven't played much European football."

As reported earlier, FC Shakhter Karagandy sensationally beat Celtic FC 2:0 at Astana Arena in the Kazakh capital on August 20. The return match is set to be held at Celtic Park in Glasgow on August 28.
