Brendan Rodgers: 'I've spoken to opposition players and they have never heard noise like Celtic Park'

Rodgers' Celtic will meet Roberto Mancini's Zenit St Petersburg this evening.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers does not believe Zenit St Petersburg's long winter break necessarily gives them an advantage in Thursday night's Europa League clash.

The Russian side have not played a competitive game for over two months due to the winter break but have squeezed in friendlies against Slovan Bratislava, Red Star Belgrade and Maribor during a warm-weather camp in Turkey before flying to Glasgow.
