Ex-Rangers star Dorin Goian reckons CFR Cluj should be confident of beating Celtic in their Champions League qualifier - as the Hoops rely too much on "long ball tactics".
Romanian defender Goian, 38, believes Celtic will struggle to break down Cluj's defence because they find it tough against teams who are well drilled.
He also insists that Dan Petrescu's team should not be scared of squaring-off against the Scottish champions - because they have players capable of winning.
Speaking to the Scottish Sun, Goian said: "Celtic isn’t a scary fixture for Cluj. Not at all.
“Cluj are capable of eliminating Celtic. Cluj have great players.
"[Celtic's] game consists of long balls and they have big problems when they face a well-organised defence.
"The counter-attack might be the secret weapon for Cluj. Celtic attack a lot, but they often leave room in defence.
"It will not be easy but they have a good chance to qualify."
