Patrick Roberts, who is playing for Celtic on loan from Manchester City, has drawn comparisons between the Bhoys manager Brendan Rodgers and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

"Our willingness to win every game and to not lose has probably got us this far," he said.

"And the manager is instilling that in us from the get-go."From last season and this we've had the same mentality and focus all year round, and that in itself is why we've been so successful.

"In the Premier League, Guardiola is playing the football he's played at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

"The gaffer here is similar, he tries to play football at every opportunity, even when we're under pressure, and he's instilled that in every player.

"We're always getting better at it and you see in the Bayern game we controlled the game at times and that's down to the manager."

In only his first full season in charge of the club last season, Rodgers managed to lead Celtic to the domestic treble during which they did not be defeated.
