RB Leipzig stars unite in Celtic confidence surge as Marco Rose's video nasty tactic pays off

RB Leipzig stars Marcel Halstenberg and Xaver Schlager believe they are back in the groove ahead of their Champions League showdown with Celtic after sitting through a series of video nasties.

The Bundesliga side have had a largely disappointing start to the season but have begun to rally under new manager Marco Rose following the sacking of Domenico Tedesco.

Leipzig battered rock bottom Bochum on Saturday with both Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku bagging braces. Rose's next task is to get their European campaign up and running - the Germans have lost both their opening fixtures to Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid.

Part of the manager's strategy has involved sitting his squad down to watch some of their recent displays to figure out what's been going wrong.
