If Brendan Rodgers is to make a return to Celtic then the terms and conditions will include a plan for investment to become a competitive force in Europe.
But continental glass ceilings have been shattered before by the Hoops - a UEFA Cup Final in Seville in 2003 and another standout night with a win over Barcelona at Parkhead in 2012 to name but two. Charlie Mulgrew was a part of Neil Lennon's side which put Lionel Messi and Co to the sword 11 years ago and he believes a tactical mindset will be just as important as money if his old club are to have a fighting chance when jousting with the giants of the game.
It's believed Rodgers has held a number of in-depth discussions with major shareholder Dermot Desmond to thrash out his conditions for a second stint in Glasgow and it remains to be seen if a second stint at the club is to be confirmed. Mulgrew is adamant bravery on the ball will always trump any transfer budget.
