Juventus coach Antonio Conte has called on his side not to lose focus as the Italian champions look to seal their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Celtic here Wednesday.
.
Juve beat the Scottish champions 3-0 in Glasgow last month to give Neil Lennon's men a mountain to climb if they are to claim a place in the last eight.
.
However Conte said Juve, who are looking to make the last eight for the first time since their exit at the hands of Arsenal in 2006, said: "Celtic are a strong side and they're proud: we have to focus on the task at hand because we're only halfway through qualifying for the quarters.
.
"I've never been in the position of having a 3-0 advantage from the first leg so we're going into unknown territory.
.
"And football is full of surprises. That makes it all the more important to keep focus. We also have to be wary of dead ball situations."
.
Celtic complained to Uefa, European football's ruling body, over several pushing and shoving incidents which marred the first leg in Glasgow.
.
When asked about the Scottish side's complaint, Conte quipped: "He (Lennon) should come and coach in Italy. Every time Celtic had a corner one of their players was in the goalmouth hindering (goalkeeper) Gianluigi Buffon.
.
"Should we also make a complaint to UefaA?"
