Rodgers wants repeat performance

Celtic won the first leg 1-0, thanks to a late Callum McGregor strike, but they know they face a completely different beast away in St Petersburg. Russia is a notoriously hard place to go to, and with temperatures in St Petersburg currently below -10 celcius, it's not just the reception from the fans that will be frosty. 

"Obviously the competition itself and European football is notoriously very difficult now for ourselves, but I think we showed in the first leg how well we played," said Rodgers.

"We played a perfect game really in how the players defended and attacked. Of course, we would have liked to have had one or two more goals but the concentration and our quality in our game was at a very high level.

"We know that over the course of the two legs we need to replicate that, but the players are ready for that. They showed last week they can play.

"As always, we like to play with aggression and with that educated pressure on the ball - if you can press, great, if not, make sure you're super compact and then look to go from there and create opportunities," the former Liverpool manager concluded.
