Atajic undaunted by Shrewsbury Town v Wolves derby pressure

The Celtic loanee, who joined Town until the end of the season in January, has gained experience on the big stage with his parent club.

More than 45,000 were at Celtic Park when Atajic made his home debut as a second-half substitute against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish top flight in August.

And the 20-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina Under 21 international, who has played four competitive games for Celtic, was also on the bench in The Bhoys' Champions League clashes against Ajax at home and Barcelona away this season.

Asked if he was likely to be daunted by a packed Molineux should he be involved this weekend, he said: "No. I wouldn't be affected by the opponent that way because you could say I am used to playing in front of thousands and thousands of people.

"Obviously I have not played that much but in the games I have played there has been a big crowd.

"I have been on the bench against Barcelona at Camp Nou and Ajax at home which are some of the the biggest clubs.

"So it is nothing new. Obviously you need to know about your opponents, their weaknesses and strengths, but you need to play your own game and focus on yourself more than you focus on your opponent."

Atajic has not yet had the chance to appear in an Old Firm derby for Celtic – arguably the most heated of rivalries in British football.

But he has sampled the atmosphere from the stands and was also given a snapshot of the pressure it can generate when turning out for their youth team.

He said: "I haven't played against Rangers at first-team level but I have in the youth levels and that is still pretty fiery. I played twice in the youth cup final against Rangers and that was almost like a first-team game."

"At one of them there was about 12,000 people there for a youth team cup final at Hampden Park and in another one there was something like 10,000.

"It was a good experience and it is a good thing to get used to playing in front of a big crowd against good players."
