Joe Ledley adamant Celtic CAN crack the Champions League under Brendan Rodgers as he maps out Euro glory path

Joe Ledley is convinced Brendan Rodgers can finally take craved and cherished Champions League glory nights back to Celtic.

The 50-year-old is set to return to Parkhead with a key motivation being progression for the club in Europe to build on domestic dominance. Not since Neil Lennon’s Barcelona beating team of 2013/14 have Celtic managed to get beyond the group stage of the continent’s elite tournament. But, despite the huge financial gulf between his old club and elite, Ledley is adamant it can be done again by Rodgers.

He said: “It is achievable. Obviously you need a little bit of luck with the draw and who you get. When you play at home, it is important to get those three points, regardless of who you are against. You always have an advantage at Celtic Park with the fans behind you. Like I say, you do need a bit of luck, but it is definitely achievable, especially with this team that is in place right now.
