Celtic go into their Champions League showdown against Borussia Dortmund full of goals and confidence.

This has been an outstanding start from Brendan Rodgers’ side and everything is going right for the team.

It’s not just the number of goals Celtic are scoring, but the quality of football which is probably better than what Rodgers produced in his first spell.

The standout was Alex Valle’s assist for Adam Idah’s goal, it needs to be remembered that these two players are bench players.

Not even first mentioning Paulo Bernardo’s strike from the edge of the box, that was a team goal of the highest order and it proved that this side has every type of goal in its locker.

Celtic have started the new Champions League campaign like a house on fire and there is a lot of belief around the place.

The revamped Champions League format has favoured the Scottish champions, but those extremely difficult tests are still there.

That will be the case on Tuesday night when the Bhoys travel to Germany and play in front of the famous Yellow Wall.

Following Celtic’s showing and thrashing of St Johnstone at the weekend, Bernardo was asked by a reporter ‘Is that kind of display that has Borussia Dortmund worried’, as posted by The Celtic Way.

The Portuguese star certainly thinks it helps Celtic as they prepare for their biggest test of this Champions League campaign.

Bernardo responded to the question, ‘Is that kind of display that has Borussia Dortmund worried’: “Maybe, that could help. I think it will be a great game.”

Celtic’s chance to make a real statement in the Champions League

As mentioned above, the champions are playing some serious stuff, regardless of who is out on the pitch from Bernardo to Reo Hatate and Auston Trusty to the currently injured Cameron Carter-Vickers.

But many will point towards the quality of the opposition Celtic are facing, well, they can shut many critics up by beating Dortmund.

Dortmund have had mixed results of late, they won at the weekend, but they did ship five goals previously and have conceded nine in their last three Bundesliga matches.

From an attacking sense, Celtic can and should back themselves to score, it’s about how the defence will stack up, especially if Carter-Vickers is still out.
