Massimo Donati: No Fear for Celtic Against Atalanta

Celtic are ready to face Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League with no fear, according to former midfielder Massimo Donati. The Bhoys are in Group F alongside Lazio, Feyenoord, and Atalanta, and they'll need to be at their best to make it out of the group.

Donati knows all about facing Italian opposition, having played for Lecce, Fiorentina, and Atalanta himself. He says the Italian side will be a tough challenge, but Celtic are capable of getting a result.

"Atalanta is a very good team, they are very well organized and have a lot of quality," Donati told Celtic TV. "They've been doing well in the Champions League in recent years, so they'll be a big test for Celtic. But I don't think Celtic should be afraid of them. They have a lot of good players, a lot of experience, and they've been playing well recently. I think they can get a result against Atalanta."

Celtic have a good record against Italian sides in recent years, with victories over Inter Milan and AC Milan in the Champions League back in 2007. They also drew with Juventus in the same season.

"Celtic is a big club with a big history," Donati continued. "They've got a lot of passionate fans and they're always a tough team to beat at home. I think they can definitely get something from Atalanta. I've seen their recent performances, and they're playing with confidence. They're a good team, and they're going to be a real test for Atalanta."

Celtic will be looking to bounce back from their Scottish Premiership defeat to St. Johnstone, but they'll need to be at their best to get a result against Atalanta. The match will be a crucial one for both sides, and it's sure to be a high-intensity affair.

Donati's words should give Celtic fans a boost of confidence ahead of the clash. He has a unique understanding of both teams, and he believes Celtic can pull off a result in a difficult group.
