Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers believes Liverpool's clash with Manchester City in the Champions League is the most exciting of the quarterfinals.

Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield on April 4 in the first leg and travel to the Etihad six days later for the reverse fixture.

"It's brilliant. Two fantastic teams, it's going to be a special occasion," the Celtic boss said.

"Obviously the first game is at Anfield so Liverpool will look to make a good start in the tie there.

“It's a fascinating game, it should be brilliant.

"It's just a shame that both got drawn together at this stage; it would have been nice for them to have been split up, to be honest.

“They're both two very, very good sides. I think it's probably the tie of the round."
