In terms of injuries and transfers it’s not been a great start to the season but on the actual pitch Brendan Rodgers has got his side flying.
From the opening competitive match in the heat of Armenia it has been obvious that the players are fit and sharp with no breaking in time required.
Last week Rosenborg posed a serious footballing threat but with a quick shuffle Rodgers turned the course of the tie on it’s head with the Norwegian side fortunate to head home only two goals behind.
That second half performance has led to an incredible surge in confidence among supporters but there is still some serious work to be carried out in Norway.
At some stage early in the game Rosenborg are bound to enjoy a period of pressure, standing firm at the back at hitting on the break is the response that Rodgers will be looking for from his side.
A year ago Rosenborg were caught in two minds about how to build on a goal-less first leg in Glasgow, on Wednesday their task is more straightforward which could play into Celtic’s hands.
A continuation of the form shown last week is required- that will be good enough to get past Rosenborg and build momentum towards the third qualifying round against AEK Athens.
