A Celtic fan at the game against YB Bern on Wednesday night, or possibly even sitting at home online, will walk away a whopping £15,000 richer thanks to Celtic’s matchday Paradise Windfall… But Arne Engels and his Hoops team-mates are looking for four times that figure for their own Paradise Windfall – the sound of 60,000 cheers ringing in their ears at the end of the game. The Belgian Bhoy has experienced some fantastic UEFA Champions League atmospheres under the lights at Celtic Park this season against Slovan Bratislava, RB Leipzig and Club Brugge as the Hoops have pulled in the points to put them on the brink emerging from the opening stage of the new format. And the crescendo of the UEFA Champions League Anthem will reverberate around Paradise once more this week, so the midfielder can’t wait to experience it all again, Talking of the previous UCL games this term, Engels told Celtic TV: “It was unbelievable, I’ve never experienced something like that, so those games I will remember for life. ‘I hope it will be even crazier on Wednesday and that we can really make a special night of it together with the fans, I think that’s the most important thing.’ “I think they also can’t wait to see us play and to perform. “The energy that you get from the crowd is unbelievable, you are so focused and so energetic, you don’t feel the metres that you are running. “It just comes by itself because the crowd is pushing you and that is the most special feeling that you can feel.” VISIT CELTICFC.TV SUBSCRIBE ONLINE AT CELTICFC.TVThose resounding cheers, of course, don’t just arise in celebration of goals – every covering run, every tackle and every midfield duel is greeted with a cacophony of noise from 60,000 souls urging the Celts on. Engels said: “That’s what we players love to hear – when they are shouting while you are running back or when you have done a really good tackle, you can really feel their appreciation, so that’s what we are really looking forward to experiencing again and to feel the energy again. “I’m really buzzing to play that game. Everybody in the team is talking about it and hopefully it will be an amazing game to play, and I can’t wait. “We’ve been doing really good in the Champions League, we’ve got the points that we deserved and we are really looking forward to the next game and to perform again on the biggest stage, like we’ve shown already a few times in the Champions League. “It’s a few weeks since we’ve played in the Champions League and we can’t wait.” PARADISE WINDFALL £15K JACKPOT Don’t forget to pick up your Paradise Windfall tickets ahead of the match!
