As far as Brendan Rodgers is concerned it’s business as usual tonight as Celtic take on Motherwell in the Betfred Cup- the hoops boss won’t be rotatiting or experimenting seven days before the visit of Hapoel Beer Sheva.
With upto £30m available from reaching the group stage of the Champions League nothing can be taken for granted with Motherwell being treated as seriously as Hapoel, Astana and even Lincoln Red Imps…
With his eye for detail it won’t have escaped the Irishman just how poor Celtic’s record is in this tournament, running through the list of recent reverses is too painful a task.
Rodgers impact seems to be spreading throughout the club with, if he an ensure that the players involved tonight are as focussed and clued up it’ll make for another uncomfortable night for the Lanarkshire side.
Building momentum and avoiding banana skins is essential as the goodwill generated by the new manager takes root, with the quarter-final draw taking place at Celtic Park after the math it is essential that the hoops go into the draw with a confident win as the clock ticks towards Hapoel next Wednesday.
