Fortunately with Mikael Lustig and Tom Rogic available again after their World Cup exertions Rodgers has tried and tested players needing match time.
Throw in Leigh Griffiths and Jozo Simunovic and it’ll still be a recognisably strong side that faces up to Kenny Miller’s lot on Saturday.
Winning the league will always be the priority for Rodgers but there are 38 stages to that, mistakes can be rectified unlike in the Champions League qualifiers.
This season UEFA are offering higher rewards than ever, typically access is more restricted than ever.
The Celtic bench will be packed with big hitters on Saturday just in case but the players called in have plenty to prove which should give the Celtic boss a few more options for the main event when AEK come visiting.
