Celtic fans don't dare admit their deepest fear about Brendan Rodgers with reputations on the line – Hugh Keevins

I’m sure there are Celtic supporters of a nervous disposition who dare not say out loud what their secret fear is concerning Brendan Rodgers’ team in the Champions League.

The nagging suspicion in their deepest subconscious that one night somebody, somewhere is going to stick double figures past Celtic in a mortifying moment that will live on in infamy.

It could have happened against Borussia Dortmund in Germany, which was seven going on the unthinkable. Now it is last season’s Europa League winners Atalanta on Wednesday night.

And the onus is on Rodgers to devise a style of play that precludes the possibility of a battering in Bergamo. The kind of plan that Steve Clarke came up with to salvage a draw from the wreckage of a going over at the hands of Portugal in the Nations League tie last Tuesday at Hampden.
