BRENDAN RODGERS has been speaking ahead of his team’s crunch tie with Rosenborg on Thursday evening in Norway.
The Irishman says he will be able to call upon both Tom Rogic and Scott brown if he feels they are necessary to win the game.
This is great news for fans, Rogic was cleared earlier this week and has had no relapse or any sign of his knee injury flaring up again.
Scott was more touch and go but after a good week of training, the Celtic manager has declared his captain available.

The Celtic manager hasn’t gone as far as saying either are definite starters in the Europa tie but to have them available is such a major boost.
? BR: “Whatever team I put out will be a strong team and one I feel can win the game.” #RBKCEL

After hearing Rosenborg will rest stars for their end of season cup final on Sunday Rodgers is adamant the team who play Celtic will still pose a big threat and there will be players in their team with a point to prove.
For Celtic, it’s about picking the best team on the night and looking for all three points.
Broonie and Tom Rogic, even on the bench would be good to see. If either of them can start, and last the first half. Or come on in the second, and last until the end would wonderful. HHTCAH.
