JACK BUTLAND savoured the silence in Seville.
Now the Rangers No.1 hopes his side can render Celtic Park speechless too as his side | look to roar their way back into the title fight.
The Ibrox outfit will be up against it at Parkhead this afternoon as they run out into a red-hot cauldron without a single away fan for backing.
Getting the win needed to reignite their Premiership hopes in these circumstances would certainly confound the bookmakers who have priced up Philippe Clement's men as the 3-1 underdogs.
But it would come as no surprise to Butland, who reckons you only have to look back to December's trip to Spain for evidence of Gers overcoming even greater odds.
The Europa League trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarin pitted the Light Blues team against a Real Betis outfit that had gone seven months without losing at home and had just held Champions League finalists Real Madrid to a draw.
But the Betis faithful were hushed as Clement's team claimed a famous 3-2 triumph to claim top spot in their section.
The job now is to gag the Green Brigade and the rest of the Parkhead faithful.
The Gers goalie said: "You face that (hostility). I remember Betis and going to Seville and playing there.
"It is a different kind of atmosphere. You are in the arena, everyone is against you, you have to stand up and be counted.
"Unfortunately, the result (last time we travelled to Celtic Park) wasn't what we wanted, but the opportunities were there. So the belief is there for us.
"There is definitely an opportunity for us to go and do something special."
