year.” And Rodgers has also insisted that he wants to round off the Champions League campaign this season with a home win.

The Hoops won against Anderlecht on the road but Rodgers would like to give the Hoops support a home win in the tournament – the first of his regime at Celtic Park in the group stages.

Achieving that would not only take Celtic into the Europa League but would also give them six points from Group B – not a bad yield considerin­g the company they have kept.

“We want to win for the supporters,” said Rodgers. “That is our message going into the game. We have been in two campaigns now and we want to get a home victory.

“We have had good performanc­es against top teams and obviously of course we have learned a lot of lessons and valuable lessons.

“We had a great result out there in Anderlecht. We played very well and won. Now it would be nice to finish off our Champions League campaign with a great night and a great result.

“When you are Celtic and come into this level of competitio­n it is brilliant to be in it and bring that level of player to the supporters. They don’t get the chance to see that level. It also allows them to gauge the level of European football. They look at Borussia Moenchengl­adbach, see the quality of them.

“But it would also be nice to get three points and a win and celebrate. That is something we would really like to do for them tomorrow. We have got great confidence, we are playing well and we will look to use that home advantage tomorrow.”
