BHOYS' NOISE IS SO SCARY.

FORMER Spartak Moscow boss Stanislav Cherchesov insists Dynamo Moscow would be CRAZY to underestimate Celtic.

The Russian has bad memories of facing the Hoops in a UEFA Cup qualifier in 1997 while he was playing for FC Tirol.

Celtic lost the first leg to the Austrians but thrashed them 6-3 on their return to Parkhead.

Cherchesov also bossed Spartak in a Champions League qualifier two years ago when they lost out to Celtic on penalties.

Tony Mowbray's men host Dynamo in next weekend's third round first leg qualifier.

And the 45-year-old reckons Dynamo are lucky they won't have to withstand a verbal bashing from the "greatest supporters in Europe" in the second leg.

He said: "Over the years the Celtic team has changed but the fan base remains the same.

Powerful "Dynamo have to ensure they are ready psychologically for the first leg. They are lucky they play them at Parkhead first and take them home for the second leg.

"In terms of stadium support, Celtic is easily the best in Europe and for 90 minutes the away team is exposed to the most powerful noise attack.

"I remember I had to play against Celtic for FC Tirol in the UEFA Cup. We won the first game at home.

"Then in the second leg I remember the atmosphere created by their supporters at Parkhead. We crumbled.

"Psychologically, FC Tirol were beaten by them and we were thrashed 6-3 in Glasgow.

"Celtic are not a club to be underestimated. This is a team that is usually in the group stages of the Champions League and in recent years they have outplayed the likes of AC Milan and other leading European teams.

"This shows they are a balanced football side and have excelled in past seasons.

"They are a terrific team with an outstanding support."
