Rodgers is ready for another battle at Easter Road

“We have been playing at a really high level domestically.

“It will be a tough game for us. I am sure Neil will have his team quite energetic.

“You know what it is like playing a European game and what you face on the Sunday but we will be very focused, we will try to recover as best we can and go there expecting an extremely tough game.”

It took a late and unlikely goal from bottom-placed Rosenborg against RB Leipzig in Germany to bring Celtic Park to life and make the Hoops’ result irrelevant.

The Scottish champions ultimately retained second place, two points ahead of the German side, to go into Monday’s draw.

Rodgers admitted it was a “strange” experience having to look out for a result from elsewhere.

He said: “You are always looking at your own team and their performance but of course it gets to 2-0 and you hear a cheer.

“I knew something was going on because of the celebrations but it was just great to get through, that was the whole objective. It doesn’t really matter how you do it.”
