Hamann ready for Celtic test

The German international feels that the Reds displays against the likes of Roma and Barcelona in recent years highlights Liverpool's ability in big match atmospheres.

Hamann told the club's official website: We have been away to a few good sides in Europe over the last two or three years and overall we have done very well.

"It's important when games get passionate or get a bit heated that you have players who will keep their cool. I'm sure we'll cope with that.

"It's going to be a very exciting game for us. I have only played at Celtic Park once before and that was for Bayern Munich in a friendly. But a few of our lads remember the last time Liverpool played there a few years ago and they said it was a great occasion.
