Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud says that it will be "very special" for him to play against his old club Montpellier on Tuesday.

Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud has said that he will not celebrate if he scores against his old club Montpellier in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old spent two years at the French outfit before joining the Gunners in the summer.

"To return to Montpellier is very special because I spent two very happy years there which were fantastic," he told Arsenal's official website.

"Montpellier is a family club and I left a lot of friends behind - everybody who works at the club and the players.

"I want to score in every match, but if I score against Montpellier I will keep the celebration small. That is normal for anybody, for the club and Montpellier fans. It will be out of my respect to my old club."

However, Giroud wants Arsenal to win at Stade de la Mosson in their opening Group B game.

"I'm an Arsenal player and I want to score and to win this game for Arsenal," said the Frenchman. "It will be my first game in the Champions League, so I want to win it.

"Of course we are playing against Montpellier, but it is an important game for Arsenal and I have to forget it's Montpellier for 90 minutes."

In the other game in the group, Olympiakos will host Schalke.
