RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose expects a "wild" clash with Celtic as Ange Postecoglou's side push to rescue their Champions League campaign.

It was an entertaining encounter between the sides in Germany with the Bundesliga side eventually running out 3-1 winners over the Scottish Premiership champions, but Rose will know when he arrives in Glasgow that they fans could make all the difference at Celtic Park.

Rose's Borussia Dortmund side were knocked out of the Europa League by Rangers last season and the manager expects a similar atmosphere in the other side of the city.

Rose, who revealed Timo Werner was fit to play following illness, said: "I'm well prepared for the fact it's going to be a wild game from the outset.
