Brendan Rodgers has been talking to the media in Rotterdam ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League group stage opener against Feyenoord.

Here are the key points from his press conference: .

• Rodgers believes “anything is possible” as his side embark on another Champions League campaign and that they’ve shown already this season that their “spirit will never be broken".

• He said they have to have that at this level where people “want to dismiss you in the tournament.”

• Rodgers insisted his side will look to be competitive in every game as they seek his target of being in Europe after Christmas - “That’s what our aim is. Whatever competition that is in, as long as we’re in Europe after Christmas, that is our aim.”

• He conceded “we are not at peak Celtic,” and “we’ve got a long way to go before I think we’re where I want us to be,” but pointed to just needing time to get there.

• Rodgers explained the key difference at this level is the speed of the game and the quality of opposition.

• In response to Celtic’s long term record of poor results in the Champions League, he said: “For us what we can promise is that we’ll fight in every single game. We want to compete, we want to be competitive and that is all I can promise. I can promise no more than that. If we can produce that level of work ethic and the quality that we do have, then I think we can cause teams problems. That will be our aim.”
