“It’s important that we’ve done well lately in Serie A, but we are Lazio and cannot be happy with our current Europa League standing,” the goalkeeper told Lazio Style Channel.

“We know that by getting through the initial pressing, we can really hurt Celtic. We’ve got to give it our all and more to win this evening.

“It’s not really Celtic’s style to sit back and wait, so they’ll have the same approach as they did in Glasgow.”

Lazio had taken the lead at Parkhead, but were eventually beaten 2-1 and only have three points from three Europa League matches.
