Parkhead victory ‘crucial’

STRIKER Scott McDonald believes nothing less than victory over Shakhtar Donetsk will do if Celtic are to maintain high hopes of Champions League progress.

And the Australian is trying to put the carrot of instant qualification out of his mind so the Bhoys are not distracted from that target.

Celtic will qualify for the last 16 tonight if they better Shakhtar’s 2-0 win over them, and Benfica fail to beat AC Milan.
