Beram Kayal is confident Israel’s youngsters will give a good account of themselves at next month’s Euro under-21 finals.
The host nation has been drawn against England in Group A but the Celtic star believes Israel can progress.
"It’s a good chance for Israel to prove themselves on the big stage," Kayal said. "I missed my opportunity at that age group but it’s important the team plays their own game, enjoys the tournament and believes in themselves.
"It will be a very strong competition and it won’t be easy for Israel but everything is possible. Just look at Celtic – no-one gave us a chance against Barcelona in the Champions League but we proved everyone wrong.
