Even Rangers fans recognize the truth about Celtic following the RB Leipzig encounter – Report

Celtic have previously defeated high-profile clubs in the Champions League. But rarely has it been as impressive as their 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig. The Hoops were the much better team on the night, and the outcome was relatively comfortable. And one player was at the center of it all: Nicolas Kuhn.

RB Leipzig had actually gained the lead. No Celtic supporter could blame themselves for expecting another night in which the Hoops conceded a few goals and never recovered.

Instead, Kuhn scored a superb goal to bring Celtic level and then gave them the lead about 10 minutes later. And it would be safe to say that he was brilliant after the break as well, even though he might not have completed his hattrick. It was Reo Hatate who scored the third and was thoroughly deserving of being on the scoresheet.

On the night, even Rangers fans started to admit how Celtic’s recruitment was far better than that of the Ibrox club. Kuhn was signed from Rapid Vienna in January for a transfer fee believed to be in the region of £3 million.

This result should give a huge confidence boost to Celtic. After four games in the Champions League, they have seven points. A very respectable tally when you look around the table and the kind of teams they are level with.

Now, it is about building on this momentum. On paper, they have three winnable games left alongside a visit to in-form Aston Villa.

So, the Hoops are in a very good spot when it comes to potentially making it to the next round of the competition. Let’s see how it plays out for them.

Celtic will face their second German opposition in the UEFA Champions League this season. This time around, they will welcome RB Leipzig to Parkhead in matchweek 4 of the competition. It is safe to say that nobody wants to see a repeat of their result against Borussia Dortmund a few weeks back, losing 7-1 away in Germany.

Celtic have picked up four points from their opening three Champions League matches. Considering the level of opposition faced with two away games, this is certainly a solid tally for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

However, it gets no easier. The Hoops now come up against RB Leipzig. The German side have lost all three of their games in the Champions League this season, which will make them even more intent on getting a win at Parkhead. So, Celtic must be prepared for a tough test.

So, here is our Celtic vs RB Leipzig preview. It features keen information such as team news, a predicted scoreline and how to watch the game on TV.

Heading into this game, Celtic has a clean bill of health. The monumental result at the weekend in the League Cup semifinal saw the return of some key players. Therefore, Rodgers can confidently field a strong lineup in the UEFA Champions League.

The main question mark lies within the defence. Rodgers might wish to field Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty for the second consecutive game, given the pace provided by Openda and Sesko for the opposing side.
