Match Preview

Celtic are riding the crest of a wave after coming through a difficult patch and they will be fully confident in their ability to secure a result against Rosenborg in Trondheim.

The Glasgow side have put together a six-match unbeaten run, a streak which includes a 2-1 win over Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, and they have returned to the summit of the Scottish Premiership as well. 

Rodgers’ men also have a Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen to look forward to this weekend and the Northern Irish coach is eager for his players to maintain their momentum.

“Every away fixture is big, but you could say that we want to take something from this game before going into our last game in the group, which is at home. For us, we want to get the victory,” the Bhoys boss told the Celtic View.

“I feel that will be important for us coming into our last game against Salzburg. We’ll give everything we can to win the game. The team coming on to these games are riding high on performance, confidence, goals and defensive solidity.”
