Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers gears up for 'difficult night' against Man City

Brendan Rodgers is under no illusions as to the task his Celtic side face when free-scoring Manchester City visit Parkhead tonight and admits the Hoops are facing a “difficult night”.

The Hoops were thrashed 7-0 by Barcelona in their Champions League Group C opener in the Nou Camp and match day two brings Pep Guardiola’s in-form side who have won their first 10 games in all competitions.

Rodgers, who confirmed Craig Gordon would take over in goal from Dorus de Vries who is still not 100% after having to go off at half-time in the 6-1 win over Kilmarnock at the weekend, is excited about taking on the Premier League leaders.
