“All our lives we’ve been talking about Celtic and Rangers.”

Slovan Bratislava manager Vladimir Weiss is well known to Celtic fans – as is his son of the same name.

Weiss senior led Artmedia Bratislava to a 5-0 victory in Gordon Strachan’s first match in charge of Celtic in 2005, before hanging on for a 5-4 aggregate success.

Weiss junior played on loan at Rangers in season 2010-11.

Both return to Glasgow on Wednesday as Slovan take their Champions League bow.

“Of course there are memories and nobody can take them away from you but now we are up against a Celtic side that are faster and have a different style of play than 19 years ago,” said the visiting coach.

“We know what to expect. We have several players who have played here before and they know about the atmosphere.

“A lot of players have said this is the best atmosphere in the world. We have enough experience to not give in to this atmosphere and not make mistakes.

“We know that most of the game we will be under pressure. Just like we get emotion and energy from our fans, Celtic will get that. So you have to have self-confidence and discipline.”

Slovan forward Weiss is now 34, with his father adding: “My son played for Rangers and he’s a Rangers fan and he will face Celtic, their arch rival.

“When he was here at Rangers, they won the double. So he has the best memories. And the derby with Celtic is the best.

“He had a great time and he will play Celtic again and we’ll see how it goes.”
