Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths is hoping that the Scottish champions can put up more of a fight when they face German counterparts Bayern Munich in the Champions League at Celtic Park on Tuesday night.
The Bavarians ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture two weeks ago but the 27-year-old says that if Celtic can harness and build on their second-half display at the Allianz Arena then they could push the Germans all the way.
"I think the game will be different here, especially with the crowd getting behind us. They will roar us on from start to finish," he explained.
"You've seen the second half when we were much more disciplined to go and play, we created good chances to score goals.
"If we can replicate the last half-hour we played over there then we give ourselves a good shot.
"It is going to be a difficult night for us but as you have seen previously, big teams have been turned over when they came here."
Despite their domestic woes, Bayern will go into the game as heavy favourites as they look to show that they have plenty to offer in Europe's premier club competition.
