The Scottish champions are aiming to recover from the 7-1 hammering at the hands of Borussia Dortmund against Atalanta
Brendan Rodgers admits the Borussia Dortmund bashing dented his spirit – but it hasn’t shaken his attacking DNA.
“But I'm also respectful that you play against teams at a certain level and certain opponents, where you have to really look at their strengths. But I don't tell them not to do that in every game, because I do, no matter what team I'm playing, whether it's in Scotland or in the Champions League. “But then they come away and they learn from that, I'm pretty sure, and stick with the philosophy, but still look at certain areas where they can be better and improve. And of course then you become better with that.
“My idea is to have an attacking philosophy, which is about defending and defending well. Defending when you haven't got the ball, being really aggressive and really strong in closing spaces. And then when you have the ball, look to create opportunities. But that's not to say I don't respect the different levels in the game, because I absolutely do. But I'll always be mindful of having a balance in both attack and defence.

Rodgers said: “I think that if you get any sort of common sense and logic, you would see that. But it's something that doesn't count. You don't get the leeway. That's the reality of it.
