BARCELONA - Gordon Strachan has made pride the main aim for his Celtic players in the second leg of their Champions League tie against Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night.
The Scottish champions are 3-2 down from the first game at Parkhead where they were outplayed for almost the whole 90 minutes.
To add to a daunting task, Celtic will have to win their first-ever away game in the tournament if they are to make the quarter-finals but manager Strachan is most concerned with his players putting on a show.
"You always want to win every game for your pride, it's a big thing in football," Strachan said.
"We are angry that we lost the first leg although we understand that we played against a great side.
"We want to leave Barcelona players and fans with a good impression of us, that's what we are going to try and do.
"Hopefully the Nou Camp does inspire the players.
"There is nothing wrong with a bit of fear sometimes - it can push you on to greater things.
"I hope that we have a fear to get the ball back when they have it and stop them playing and then when we get the ball back have no fear whatsoever, to hold on to the ball more and be braver when we have possession.
"Hopefully that might do us."
Strachan takes little encouragement from the fact Barcelona suffered their first defeat in 16 games when they lost 4-2 at Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.
The loss left Barca five points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid but the Celtic boss is reading little into that defeat.
He said: "They started the game well and lost a goal through a deflection and then went into shock.
"If you watch any of their games, they invariably have more chances than their opponents.
"We need to have a bit of luck tomorrow, that's for sure.
"We hope to have the luck and then perform the way that Atletico did.
"Barcelona have played against every sort of system and tactics.
"It is down to how we play and we will have a plan.
"A lot of individuals could have played better so we reiterated that individual performances need to be better."
Strachan has to decide whether Mark Wilson or Paul Caddis replaces cup-tied right-back Andreas Hinkel.
Caddis made his European debut in the first leg which Celtic lost 3-2 but was replaced in the second half by Wilson, who is fit again after being out since last September with a knee injury.
The Celtic boss said: "Normally we would like to look after Mark a bit better but we had to use him for 30 minutes the last time because young Paul got tired.
"But he comes in to our thinking for use at some stage during the game."
