Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic will face Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the Champions League this season.

Danny McGrain of Celtic Legends talks with Kenny Dalglish of Liverpool Legends during the charity challenge match at Celtic Park on October 4, 2006 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has written in The Sunday Post that Celtic midfielder Scott Brown should be careful against Paris Saint-Germain this week.

Scottish Premiership giants Celtic will take on Ligue 1 powerhouse PSG at Celtic Park in Champions League Group B on Tuesday evening.

Brown is set to play a key role for the Hoops in the match. Not only is the Scotland international the captain of the team, but the 32-year-old is also one of the best midfielders in Brendan Rodgers’s side.

Liverpool and Celtic legend Dalglish has suggested that PSG could try underhand tactics to put Brown off his game, and has warned the former Hibernian star not to take the bait.

Brown has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million.

“PSG will do their homework on the Celtic players and will be well prepared for the game,” Dalglish wrote in The Sunday Post.

“They will know how influential Brown can be and they may well try one or two underhand tactics to put him off his game and also get the attention of the referee.

“Scott must not take the bait. He must not be tempted to give them exactly what they want. He has to stay fully focused and make sure he is in control.

“The last thing Celtic need is for Scott to receive a red card. So, he must be highly-competitive, without being stupid.”

PSG have one of the best teams in Europe and are one of the favourites for the Champions league this season.

Celtic are the underdogs heading into the match on Tuesday evening, but the fans at Celtic Park could make a huge difference.
