You'd think Lionel Messi might have other things on his mind ahead of tonight's clash with PSG but it seems he's more than happy to talk about Celtic.

No, we're not quite sure why he was talking about the Scottish champions before a Champions League quarter final but according to the Daily Record, he was asked about his memories of Celtic Park and he didn't disappoint.

The four time Ballon D'or winner has kept souvenir's from his trips to Glasgow and even keeps a Celtic jersey at home saying 'the games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them'.

He then went on to say that he was hoping to see Celtic back in the Champions League next year so he could experience the Celtic Park atmosphere once more.

Celtic Park is a tough place to go to, it is never easy to get a result there. We know we would get a tough game if we drew them in the Champions League, but everybody involved in those Barcelona v Celtic games wants to go and play there again.

It is the best atmosphere in Europe and we all want to experience that again.

The Argentine also had some special praise for one of Celtic's former players following his last appearance in Glasgow in 2013.

The performances of Fraser Forster against us were talked about for a long time.There was one game in Scotland where he was not human, it is the best goalkeeping performance I have seen.

When Victor Valdes said he was leaving we even talked about him playing here.
