Concerned John Collins is worried Celtic could face a mass exodus of players this summer as they prepare for the Champions League.

And the former Parkhead hero has tasked Brendan Rodgers with keeping a key trio at the Scottish Premiership champions this season - while also adding players who are ready-made for Europe's elite competition.

The Irishman has put a major focus on achievements in Europe next season after returning to Celtic Park and the club will be catapulted into the Champions League group stage again next term.

Rodgers also took Leicester City into the Europa League and Conference League and alluded to those two competitions as a potential path to success for Celtic going forward.
