Tom Rogic is set to feature tonight for Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side in the Europa League.
Rogic has missed portions of this season with injury, including Celtic’s last two European matches.
However, the Australian is back and set to start for the Bhoys this evening against Red Bull Leipzig.
And Rodgers admits that Rodgers is considered a big threat by everyone in Scottish football.
“You talk to other managers after games and they normally highlight Tom in conversation with me,” Rodgers said.
“The players themselves and opposition players know the problems he causes.
“He’s got an in-built brain for football. You just need to put him into a structure and a framework to get the ball and into areas where he can hurt teams. He’s very elusive. He’s so cool and calm and he just moves so well. He’s fantastic.”
Celtic will be relying on Rogic to provide them with an increase in creativity later on tonight when they take on Leipzig.
The Bhoys have struggled in European action so far this season, with just one win to their name over their first three Europa League outings.
Celtic could actually be knocked out of Europe this evening, if results go against them, and they are beaten at Parkhead.
The Bhoys go into the match on the back of a superb run of form domestically though, so they should be full of confidence.
