Supporters help buoy Celtic ahead of rematch with Barca

Manager Brendan Rodgers said it's a sign of how far Celtic has progressed this season that the club's supporters believe it can beat Barcelona on Thursday.

It's a belief that would have seemed preposterous just two months ago when Celtic trudged off the pitch at Camp Nou after being humiliated 7-0 by the Catalan giant.

But positivity abounds at Celtic Park, thanks in large part to an undefeated start to the club's Scottish Premiership title defense and a place in the League Cup final, which has given it an air of invincibility domestically.
