Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has explained his decision to make 11 changes to his starting lineup tonight.
The Parkhead club were beaten 5-1 by Ajax on Thursday evening in their first Como Cup outing.
Just 48 hours later, Rodgers' men are back in action, and such limited time between games means he has made several alterations.
