Marco Rose knows RB Leipzig are in for a 'wild' Champions League game against Glasgow Celtic

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose anticipates an electric atmosphere at Celtic Park when they take on Glasgow Celtic in the UEFA Champions League tonight.
Rose's charges beat the Hoops 3-1 in their Group F encounter at Red Bull Arena last week, but he expects an entirely different challenge when they visit Glasgow.
The Leipzig boss experienced the passion of the other side of Glasgow before. During his time with Borussia Dortmund last season, they were knocked out of the Europa League by Rangers, who also defeated Leipzig in the same competition.
Rose reckons Celtic will be just as tough on home soil, but he believes Leipzig can come away with a result if they take their chances in key moments.
"I'm well prepared for the fact it's going to be a wild game from the outset. We know what we have to do but we are looking for key moments to take control of the game," said Rose, as quoted by STV News.
"We have to make sure that we look for chances and also to enjoy the game and make the most of this game in this excellent atmosphere.
"We have a wonderful stadium here and fantastic fans and amazing atmosphere but we also have the impression that the fans are knowledgeable and know when they have a powerful opponent and when to push their team on.
"I have played against Rangers when I was at Dortmund and won against Celtic with Salzburg. That was against Brendan Rodgers so you can't really take anything away from that. It's a new game, a new strategy and new players.
"But we have to realise it's an excellent stadium with amazing fans and a great atmosphere."
