Celtic will make the trip to Italy next week as they look to improve on their Champions League travels.

Brendan Rodgers and his players will face off against last season’s Europa League winners Atalanta on Wednesday evening.

The Hoops will be determined to exorcise their demons after their most recent away matchday in the competition ended in a dismal 7-1 drubbing at the hands of Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

Celts will certainly need to improve but they have Aberdeen in between their European journey to contend with first and a victory over their closest Scottish Premiership rivals can only breed confidence and optimism.
