Brendan Rodgers doesn't need baseball bat yet with Celtic World Cup Final looming on night of judgement – Chris Sutton

It’s all been building towards this – it’s Celtic’s World Cup Final. And that’s why Brendan Rodgers and his stars must be utterly ruthless when they lock horns with Young Boys on their Champions League night of judgment.

The season is going well but the world’s biggest club competition is where everyone wants to see progress. It is an enormous game which will be highly pressurised. Young Boys might be bottom and pointless but they aren’t no-hopers. You could argue since the Leipzig game that Celtic have played only in patches – the 3-3 midweek draw with Dundee is the latest example of that. It hasn’t always been perfect but they have a resilience, even when the games come thick and fast, the squad have coped really well.

It’s easy to forget that winning is hard. The pulsating Dundee draw is a kick up the bum. You could see Brendan was aggravated, it was a bit of complacency, a lack of application which cost the team. That is what you always have to guard against. But this isn’t a time where we need to take a baseball bat to Celtic’s players, and the situation with £11m man Arne Engels coming under scrutiny before his recent return to form is an example of that.

There have been emphatic defeats to Dortmund and Rangers, really below the levels expected, but there hasn’t been much elsewhere to grumble about. We do have a habit of underestimating clubs from other nations. Brugge have a better recent European record than Celtic and they were really organised when they beat Aston Villa. I did call a difficult night for Celtic.

The point against the Belgians was an important, Celtic have scrapped and fought and Brendan and the players would have signed up for a win against Young Boys to extend their stay and secure knockout
