LOUGHTON-bred striker Gary Hooper must help galvanise his Celtic team-mates for their crunch Champions League qualifying third round replay against Portuguese side Braga this evening.

The Hoops trail 3-0 from the first leg and are in need of a stunning comeback at Celtic Park to keep their European hopes alive.

Hooper, who joined Celtic from Scunthorpe last week, scored his first goal for the club in their 2-2 draw with French giants Lyon in the Emirates Cup at the weekend.

And the young striker will need to be on top form if he is to fulfil his dream of playing Champions League football this season.
