Celtic host Manchester City in the Champions League.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers during the press conference
Celtic host Manchester City this evening in the Champions League hoping to bounce back after a terrible start to their European campaign.
Brendan Rodgers’ side were walloped 7-0 away to Barcelona in their opening match. Losing at the Nou Camp was no shame, but the manner of the defeat was concerning.
It is vital therefore that they get at least a point at home to Manchester City, before they face Borussia Moenchengladbach home and away.
Celtic have a strong track record in home European matches, and the support could prove crucial this evening.
Opponents Manchester City are however in buouyant mood, with a perfect start to the season so far under new boss Pep Guardiola.
City won their opening game against Moenchengladbach 4-0, and have a 100 per cent record in the Premier League.
