Fearless Donovan relishing Celtic's Champions League charge

Colby Donovan says he plays with "no fear" after the 19-year-old's impressive individual display helped Celtic take command of their Champions League play-off against LASK.

The right-back showed up well in the absence of the injured Alistair Johnston as the Scottish champions carved out a 3-0 lead to take to Austria for Tuesday's second leg.

"I feel comfortable in every game I go into," Donovan said. "I don't really have any fear, to be honest.

"Going into a big game, it's where I want to be. I want to play in the highest level, so going into the Champions League, I just need to play the same way I play in the SPFL and all the games I've played in so far. No nerves at all, not at all.

"As a boy coming through, you always want to play for yourself, you like playing the biggest stages. It's a big honour for me to play for myself in the Champions League.

"So that's where I want to be even in the coming years, even this season, next season. I just want to kick on."

Despite Celtic's three-goal cushion, Donovan warned that LASK will still be a threat in Austria on Tuesday.

"Look, they're a good team," he said. "You've seen that, they get two goals, luckily they're offside.

"We know it's going to be a tough tie over there. But we need to just go over there and do everything we've done again tonight and hopefully we'll see it through."
