Celtic host Barcelona at Celtic Park in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told the Daily Express that he wants his side to be aggressive when they take on Barcelona in midweek.
The Hoops take on the La Liga champions at Celtic Park on Wednesday in a game that will be crucial to their European hopes.
They are currently bottom of Group C with two points from their first four group games.
While a place in the knockout stages is probably beyond them at this point, third place in the group and the chance of a spot in the Europa League is very much up for grabs.
They will need to beat Barcelona to do so, something they have famously done in the past, and Rodgers wants to see his side play aggressively to repeat that feat.
“Hopefully what we have created here in a short period of time is that we are a team that’s not going to wait for opponents,” he told the Daily Express.
“We have to be aggressive. We know they are some of the top players ever, but we have to get up to them and see how they cope when you are right at them. It is great that we feel that we can win.”
It will be interesting to see how Celtic fare when they do take on Barcelona after their heavy defeat in the reverse fixture.
They have already shown they can compete with the bigger teams at Celtic Park, specifically in the 3-3 draw with Manchester City.
That game was one in which they were aggressive and came away with a positive result, and recreating that display could see them secure another one against the Spanish giants.
