Brendan Rodgers needs to get it right tonight.
The Celtic manager escaped much of the criticism from Celtic fans amid their fury with the club’s board at the start of the season, but questions are now being asked of the Northern Irishman.
The Hoops may have endured a poor summer transfer window, but there’s still enough in the squad to beat the likes of Kairat Almaty, Rangers and Dundee.
Celtic have only won three of their last nine games, an embarrassing statistic that Rodgers needs to start addressing – firstly against Sturm Graz this evening.
Sturm Graz are top of the Austrian Bundesliga by three points with a game in hand, while they sit six places above the Bhoys in the Europa League table.
