Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and his compatriot Liam Scales previewed this evening’s game against Lazio. The Scottish Champions are in Rome to face Maurizio Sarri’s side in the UEFA Champions League knowing that a win is required to maintain ambitions of remaining in Europe beyond Christmas.

Celtic trained in Glasgow at Celtic Park before jetting out to Italy ahead of the game this evening. The manager is confident that if the team can play to their ability that they can compete, whilst being respectful, and bring a result back.

Scales, who braved a head knock at the weekend, faced the media and said that he is hungry to convert performances into results in Europe.

Celtic were beaten in the final moments of the game earlier this year, despite being the better team. It showcases the fact that Celtic can go toe-to-toe against the Italians and compete, with just results to follow.
