Swede couldn't wait to score his first goal at Parkhead now he's after a Champions League bonus

Livingston 3-0 to go top of the Premiership.

But after firing a blank in last week's goalless playoff first leg at Parkhead Rodgers will bring back his big guns.

And he is confident Celts can salvage the £40m Champions League group spot that's up for grabs 3500 miles from home.

Adam Idah will be given up to kickoff to show he's fit after his knee injury but Auston Trusty has been ruled out of the trip along with Alistair Johnston.

Meanwhile, Rodgers is ready to strengthen for the league campaign with deals being prepared for Uruguyan left-back Marcelo Sarrachi from Boca Juniors and a new forward, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, from Belgian side Royal Antwerp.

But asked if Kairat will see a different Hoops side, Rodgers said: “I don’t think there's any doubt.

“I've had games that went for us and some that haven't. But it's winner takes all now.

“And everything is there for us to do it.
