Vaclav Hladky relishing tonight's Celtic Park test

Vaclav Hladky admits he's in for a busy night as the Buddies head to Celtic Park to face League leaders Celtic in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

While Saints defensive record is among the best in the Ladbrokes Premiership this season, Jim Goodwin's men have only conceded nine goals - the fourth lowest in the league, the Czech goalkeeper expects he'll face a number of shots this evening.

But even though Celtic have scored 19 goals from just four home league games this season, Vaclav says he's relishing tonight's contest.

Speaking to the press earlier this week, he said: "Yes of course I'm looking forward.

It will be a very busy time and I expect a lot of work.

"With this kind of match you don't have as much time to communicate with the other guys. Everyone has to do their best job and concentrate as it will be a very busy time. 

"You have to be concentrated every single second. They have the ability to score from crosses and shots from 30 metres so you have to be concentrating. 

"We talked with Jamie [Langfield] about what we expect. We expect shots on the goal and a lot of work with crosses.

"We know that our defensive work is good. We keep doing the work and hope we will be better on the other side of the pitch. We just do the best as we can, it's simple as that.

"For everyone it's a great experience to play at Celtic Park. This is what we do. In football the career is so short and you have to enjoy every match like this."

While Saints have yet to take a point on the road this season, Vaclav believes the side are improving week-by-week and performances give hope that points won't be far away.

Our start to the season was not too good with the results but good with our performances.

"We just keep doing what we are doing and I hope the results are coming. 

"Our organisation, communication, back four and whole team gets better and better match by match."
