BRENDAN RODGERS will face up to Italian opposition for the third time as Celtic manager when the Hoops take on Atalanta in Bergamo this evening.

The Irishman was on the receiving end of late sucker-punches in the two previous occasions as the Hoops lost home and away against Lazio in the Champions League last season, 2-1 in Glasgow and 2-0 in Rome.

Now Rodgers and his players will be hoping it’s third time lucky on this occasion against the Europa League winners.
