Fresh Neymar warning as Celtic nemesis accused of PSG dark arts ahead of Hoops reunion

Premiership champions Celtic have been told to focus on nemesis Neymar 's antics as the Brazilian prepares to continue his personal crusade against the Hoops.

PSG have won their last two friendlies 9-0 against Paul Le Guen's Le Harvre and 7-0 against Waasland-Beveren and are in ominous form for their friendly in the Parc des Princes against Celtic.

Neymar has an outstanding record against Celtic - he's played against them six times for Barcelona and PSG, winning every contest, and netting seven goals and provided eight assists. The aggregate score in the six games he's played against Celtic is 28-2.

He's been involved in plenty of controversies too against Celtic including a red card involving Scott Brown but Waasland-Beveren's Maximiliano Caufriez insists the playmaker will never change.

He said: "We played against a team who fielded a front three of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi. It must be the best attacking trio in the world.

"So we were up against players who are flawless, with guys used to winning World Cups and Champions Leagues.

"Neymar was gifted a penalty after a tackle by me. It was extremely soft and the referee gave them everything.

"He also deliberately struck one of our players from behind and wasn't even penalised.

"Of course, the ref didn't influence the result, but let's just say it didn't make it easy for us either.

"But it was a privilege to play against a team like that. When I first heard we were going to Paris, I presumed it was their reserve team or Paris FC, but we actually played PSG at their home.

"And PSG are a team who punishes every mistake you make."
