PAK's infamous Gate 4 Ultras make the Toumba Stadium a daunting venue but Aussie is well up for Euro night in Thessaloniki.
The Australian defender has been ticking off the big occasions one by one over the last two years. There have been lows along the way too, of course, including Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to PAOK. Overturning a one-goal deficit away from home is never easy and PAOK’s Toumba Stadium – nicknamed The Black Hell – is famous for its intimidating atmosphere. But Atkinson is adamant Hearts will revel in trying to shut up the passionate home fans in Thessaloniki.
“So we’ll just go there and try to get the win. We know what Ibrox and Celtic Park are like, it’s hostile, and I’ve played in plenty of big games and been at the World Cup. This is what football’s all about.” “These are the games you want to play in and they give you something to work towards. It’s every little boy’s dream to play at a World Cup and you never really think you’re going to get there. It makes all the sacrifices worthwhile.
“It has been an enjoyable journey. We were disappointed not to get automatic qualification for group stage football last season but we’ve had a couple of good results to make it to this tie.
