Atalanta vs Celtic LIVE team news as Kyogo dropped but Rodgers refuses wasn't bluffing over tactics

Bergamo's old town is called the High City and Celtic will be aiming to scale the heights in their Champions League clash in northern Italy.

Brendan Rodgers and his troops suffered a 7-1 humbling at the hands of Borussia Dortmund last time out to bring then crashing back to down to earth after an emphatic 5-1 opening day victory against Slovan Bratislava.

Rodgers has to find a way to strike the balance in his approach when they take on the Serie A side who lifted the Europa League trophy in Dublin last season.

And the Irishman will again have to do it without star defender Cameron Carter Vickers as the defensive rock continues to be absent due to injury.

Atalanta sit sixth in the Italian top flight while Celtic go into this one after a domestic stumble with Aberdeen fighting back from two goals down to earn a point at Parkhead.
