Jamie Carragher in today's Daily Nazi. I fulfilled a long-standing ambition on Tuesday night when I sat in the stands to watch Celtic play a European game at Parkhead. Mission complete: Jamie Carragher and his son saw Celtic beat Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday The experience against Ajax did not disappoint and it was one of the best atmospheres I have ever experienced. A lot used to be said about what Anfield was like on a European night but, as a player in those games, you don’t really hear the noise as you are concentrating so much. At times on Tuesday, it felt like the ground was shaking, not least when it seemed as if 60,000 fans had started doing ‘the Poznan’. It was difficult to watch the game, as I kept looking around to take in everything. The noise was deafening. Leading Celtic to victory was another feather in Neil Lennon’s cap and, with every big result, it makes it inevitable that, one day, a club from the Premier League will make an offer for him. When that happens Lennon will be faced with a big decision. The attraction of testing yourself in the Premier League is obvious but how easy would it be to walk away from experiences such as the one I was lucky enough to witness in midweek? Those nights stay with you for ever and only a handful of clubs can come close to generating the same kind of noise and intensity that Celtic’s supporters produce when the floodlights are on and the stakes are at their highest.
