Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to another "brilliant challenge" against a "top team" as RB Leipzig visit in the Champions League.
Leipzig lost 2-1 at the weekend whereas Celtic shipped seven goals in Dortmund in this competition last month before bouncing back with an admirable goalless draw away to Atalanta. "Every game is like a cup final for us in this competition. Leipzig have had tough games - of course they will be desperate to get points on the board, but we are too, and that should make for a fantastic game."Celtic are at full strength, with defenders Liam Scales and Greg Taylor pushing for starts after being used from the bench at Hampden at the weekend.
Indeed, the 20 points gained in their opening eight matches prior to the weekend represented their best start to a Bundesliga season, so clearly this is not a team to be taken lightly. Top scorer Daizen Maeda is bidding to become the first Celtic player to score three times in a Champions League group or league phase since Moussa Dembele in 2016.
RB Leipzig have lost all three of their UEFA Champions League matches this season. Only two German teams have lost their first four games in a Champions League season: Hamburger in 2006-07 and Stuttgart in 2007-08.
