Alba added: "Everyone knows Spanish football is superior to Scottish football but we respect Celtic as they have defeated Spartak in Moscow and we almost didn't beat the Russians in Barcelona. "I didn't expect Celtic's win in Russia but that has given them belief they can also qualify. "That is a warning to us not to be too confident. We have watched some of Celtic's games already and they are a good team, who are always looking to exploit mistakes and take their chances."
