GARY KEOWN: There's only one issue, with Brendan Rodgers and Celtic proving their UEFA competition front and center as they sell his Second Coming to a fanbase who was determined to string him up in Glasgow Cross not so long ago. They did the same thing the first time around. And then, practically giving up on Europe entirely before the whole project sank in acrimony, finger pointing, and Brodge droning about other, larger clubs' increased funds and greater capacity, and how getting out of the Champions League qualifiers against mediocre outfits from the back of the continent was a huge achievement.' Let's face it. At Celtic, Rodgers failed for the first time. All available evidence indicates he will fail again in his second spin round, despite the fact that the block is to be based on a five-year plan with the ultimate aim of advancing to the European final.

For all its fame, the Champions League is not known for live group stages, which can often be littered with dead rubbers by the final match round. However, there is a major surprise package in the shape of Belgiumn side Club Brugge, who have had a fantastic start to the tournament this season. Usually, choosing who will advance from the group stage is straightforward, but plotting Brugge's destiny is even simpler.
