ASTON VILLA v CELTIC: 5-MINUTE QUIZ

0

BRENDAN RODGERS has an unbeaten record against English sides in European competition as the Celtic boss prepares for the challenge of Aston Villa in the Midlands tonight.

Admittedly, the Irishman hasn’t won either of the two games against a team from across the border, but, crucially, he also hasn’t lost.

Rodgers faced Pep Guardiola’s multi-million pound Manchester City outfit in his first season as Hoops gaffer in 2016/17 and drew 3-3 at Parkhead with Moussa Dembele (2) and Raheem Sterling (own goal) on target.
