Celtic FC's UEFA Champions League campaign has hinged on overcoming the odds, with a long-awaited away victory and a shock triumph over FC Barcelona the standout moments.

"We've gone into every Champions League game probably as underdogs ever since we qualified, so that has kind of worked in our favour in a lot of ways," Forster, who made his comeback on Saturday after five weeks out with a neck injury, told UEFA.com.

"We've got great belief as a squad in our ability, and great confidence as a team, so that has been really important for us, and we haven't really had too much external pressure on ourselves to pick up three points."

Celtic FC head into their tie against Juventus as second favourites, something which goalkeeper Fraser Forster feels has already "worked in our favour" this season.
