Celtic have been already written off as Champions League no hopers by arrogant Dutch pundits. But Brendan Rodgers reckons his Hoops side might just make a few of them eat their words.
The Scottish champs kick off their campaign in Holland on Tuesday night in Feyenoord’s famous De Kuip bear pit. Outspoken Dutch broadcaster Aad de Mos has already claimed the points will be like taking sweeties from a wean as the Parkhead men play ‘childish, attacking football’.
Meanwhile former Feyenoord star Karim El Ahmadi shrugged off injury concepts up front, insisting his old club could play without a striker as Celtic ‘just won’t have the ball’.
Rodgers will have one eye on Europe against Dundee in the Premiership today and he’s refusing to take the bait from the cocky continentals.
