Brendan Rodgers delivers strong Celtic message ahead of Champions League

By Dominic Toner

Brendan Rodgers is confident that Celtic can win in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Bhoys face Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany for the group stage match and they will be looking for revenge after the 2-0 defeat at Celtic Park.

The Scottish champions are currently stuck at the bottom of the group behind Borussia, Manchester City and Barcelona, and are in danger of being eliminated from Europe.

Celtic manager Rodgers believes that his side are good enough to get a result against a Borussia side that impressed with some slick football.

“There is no doubt we can win here, or else we wouldn’t be here,” Rodgers said, as quoted by the club’s official Twitter account.

Celtic have won all three matches since the defeat to Borussia and did not concede against Rangers, Ross County or Aberdeen.

They will be forced into changes on Tuesday with Leigh Griffiths, Jozo Simunovic and Kolo Toure all ruled out through injury.

Rodgers has enjoyed a good start to his career in Scotland since being appointed the club's manager in the summer.

The Bhoys are cruising nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, but Rodgers will be under pressure to achieve success in Europe.

In other Celtic news, a Rangers youngster has been identified as a star in the same squad as Karamoko Dembele.
