Man City defender Denayer: I'm with Celtic for Champions League experience

Manchester City defender Jason Denayer admits moving to Celtic was all about getting Champions League experience.

Celtic prepared for their crucial clash with Slovenian champions Maribor with an emphatic 6-1 thrashing of unbeaten Dundee United.

The Hoops face Maribor in the first leg of their play-off clash on Wednesday, with a spot in the money-spinning stages.

Denayer said: "It is a massive motivation, the chance to get into the group stage. For me, it is a dream. Ever since I started playing football, it is the tournament I have dreamed about playing in.

"Now I have that possibility with Celtic and I want to take it."
