Marco Rose must score with RB Leipzig in Glasgow. Beforehand, he praises Celtic to the skies. Christoph Baumgartner calls for courage and believes in his own strengths.

Marco Rose has outed himself as a Celtic fan ahead of the Champions League match in Glasgow. "I'm already a bit of a fan of this club in Scotland, it has a great fan culture, a great stadium - and I like the coach too," said the RB Leipzig head coach ahead of the fourth preliminary round match in the Champions League on Tuesday (21:00/DAZN). Rose already received a scarf from the Scots as coach of RB Salzburg.

After three defeats, he and the Saxons are condemned to victory. "There are no extraordinary announcements as far as the table is concerned. Everyone can read the table," said Rose. He would rather deal with content. So before leaving for Scotland, there was extensive video study in the RB academy.

"We took things from the Dortmund game that we want to do better. Celtic are a strong team. Coach Rodgers relies on a 4:3:3 system, the flow is predictable," analyzed Rose, who particularly praised the Japanese in the opponent's team: "Very fast people, boys of top footballing age, good at counter-pressing and very hard-working."

Filling processes with life and content

Christoph Baumgartner, who is currently deputizing for the injured Xavi Simons in attack, is relying on his own strengths. "It will be a big key to clean up the processes with the ball. We have it in us." He also calls for courage and security at the same time. "Every detail is important, every contact has to be right. We have good processes that every player has within themselves. Now we have to fill it with life and content."
