Dominik Szoboszlai has warned Celtic that RB Leipzig are going to throw everything at them to keep their Champions League dream alive.
It's been a tough start to the season for the Bundesliga club, but they responded to four defeats in five matches with a convincing 4-0 win over Bochum. Now Celtic are their next challenge and it's a game both teams could be doing with winning in Group F, having both failed to beat Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid, albeit Ange Postecoglou's men have one point to Leipzig's zero.
Hungarian international Szoboszlai loved the outing against Bochum and hopes it's a sign of things to come ahead of a testing run of games between now and the World Cup break in November. He said of the Saturday demolition job and upcoming Celtic mission: "It was really fun. We absolutely wanted to go into the new week on the back of a win.
