Keanu Baccus wants Celtic to feel his recent pain as he makes admission about St Mirren's Cup rivals
Keanu Baccus felt pressure to win the Asia Cup with Australia and was left devastated by defeat. Now, the Socceroos star wants Celtic to feel the same when they face St Mirren in Paisley.
Baccus is back from Qatar and could start in Saints’ Scottish Cup tie against the holders. He says becoming a regular for the Aussie national side – and playing at two major tournaments – has given him belief.
But while Baccus has taken his career to a new level, he accepts it comes with higher expectations. He was distraught at his country’s late loss to South Korea in Qatar because he felt they could win the trophy.
And he’d love to get his hands on silverware with Saints but Brendan Rodgers’ side stand in their way. And this time Baccus hopes to take advantage of the Buddies’ underdog status by knocking out the Hoops.
