Strach unfazed by Milan doubts
-
Celtic boss Gordon Strachan is not concerned about where the club's UEFA Champions League tie with Milan will be played.
Milan's home tie is due to take place on 7th March, but the game could be switched to a neutral venue as a result of the violence during last weekend's Sicilian derby between Catania and Palermo.
The Italian government have now approved new safety measures for all Italian stadiums as they to look eradicate hooliganism.
Milan's Giuseppe Meazza stadium does not fit the new requirements and instead of playing the game with Celtic behind closed doors the Rossoneri are considering switching the game to France or Switzerland.
Strachan is not overly worried where his side might end up playing Milan and is confident his players will be able to cope whatever situation is thrown upon them.
"It doesn't matter where we have to play them, the players are so professional therefore we will be focused enough," said Strachan.
"We could play at the training ground and the game would still have an intensity about it so we are not too worried.
"We are just unfortunate concerning the circumstances which has brought about this situation.
"But I don't have a problem with where we play."
Meanwhile, Strachan has been named Bank of Scotland Premier League Manager of the Month for January and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink has scooped the player prize. -
