Paul Lambert insists Celtic must grab the chance to improve their record in Europe as Brendan Rodgers looks to get off to a Champions League flyer against Slovan Bratislava at Parkhead on Wednesday.

The Hoops haven’t reached the knockout stage of UEFA’s premier competition for 12 years and it’s 20 years since they won a knockout round tie in any continental tournament when they beat the mighty Barcelona in the UEFA Cup over two legs.

Lambert was part of Martin O’Neill’s side back then having helped Celtic go all the way to the final the previous season when they lost to Porto in Seville.

Celtic been drawn away against two of Lambert’s former clubs – Borussia Dortmund where he lifted club football’s ultimate prize and Aston Villa where he managed – in what has been viewed as a favourable section.
