Brendan Rodgers believes Celtic have exceeded expectations in Champions League

Brendan Rodgers insists Celtic have already exceeded outside expectations in the Champions League despite taking only two points from four Group C fixtures.

The Hoops' 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday night - after losing 2-0 at home to the Bundesliga outfit a fortnight ago - kept them at the bottom of the table.

After a 7-0 thrashing against Barcelona in the Nou Camp on match day one, the Scottish champions responded with a fine performance in the 3-3 home draw with Manchester City.

Celtic host Barca later in the month before visiting the Etihad stadium in December and progress in the competition or even finding a place in the Europa League remains odds-against.
