Rodgers has made same impact as Guardiola - Brown

Scott Brown says Brendan Rodgers' changes at Celtic are making a difference, similar to Pep Guardiola's effect at Manchester City.

Celtic midfielder Scott Brown feels Brendan Rodgers' impact since his arrival at the Scottish champions is similar to that of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Rodgers replaced Ronny Deila as the man in charge ahead of the 2016-17 campaign and guided them to the Champions League group stages at the expense of Lincoln Red Imps, Astana and Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

They were thrashed 7-0 by Barcelona in their Group C opener, a worrying start ahead of Wednesday's meeting against a City side that have won all 10 competitive outings under Guardiola.
