'Pressure is not always negative'

The Scottish side have had a terrible start to their Europa League campaign so far, and will have to find a win in the game if they are to have any chance of progressing to the next stage.

While many teams would see the pressure as a difficult thing to handle, the former Liverpool boss thinks that his Celtic team can thrive under it, especially playing in front of their home supporters.

"I think it's one where people will look at it as a pressure game, but not every pressure situation is a negative," Rodgers said.

"I think we see the pressure moments as opportunities for you to go and show your qualities. In the first game, I think for the first half an hour we looked fine in the game but when we conceded we didn't play well after that, both with and without the ball.

"Tomorrow night is obviously a different game at Celtic Park. Our supporters are everything for us, they really push us on and help us, and of course we know we are playing at a much better level and we know need to play at the very highest level to get a result.
