Neil Lennon has told Brendan Rodgers the Champions League last 16 is where he can make his Celtic stamp- as the former boss explains why Kyogo is NOT Tottenham quality.
The ex-midfielder is watching on with intrigue as Rodgers era 2.0 kicks off at Parkhead and already he has signed Norwegian playmaker Odin Thiago Holm. Aussie attacker Marco Tilio is poised to be next in the door as the returning gaffer looks to use his transfer kitty to make inroads in Europe's elite competition.

And he tells The Daily Mail Rodgers may have big aims in mind. Lennon said: "I think in Europe he'll be looking to improve not so much performances as results and challenge for second place in the Champions League group or at least try and get a Europa League place by finishing third.
