Hartley confident Celtic can banish CL away day blues

Celtic travel to Danish outfit Aalborg next week still never having registered an away win in the Champions League.

Paul Hartley knows that record must end if Celtic are to progress to the knock-out stage of the competition.

"We're still in with a chance," insisted the midfielder.

"We have to rely on Manchester United beating Villarreal but anything is possible and I'm confident we can win our two games. We know ourselves what we have to do.

"Everybody keeps going on about our away form but we know the situation. It's not through a lack of effort.

"We try as hard as we can when we go abroad but there are no easy games in the Champions League.

"It won't be easy in Denmark but we'll give it our all."
