Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has opened up on the importance of managing his squad, stating that he has "trust" in his players.

The Parkhead side have a quick turnaround after the game on Saturday against Ross County as they travel to Spain to take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

However, Rodgers feels there is more than enough quality in the squad for the players to get through the busy run of fixtures.

He told Sky Sports: "It is a testament to the players and their mentality because it is very difficult for a player when you are not playing a lot to find a rhythm.

"You know you have to come in and perform because you may not get seven or eight games on the spin.

"The intensity of training means they are ready to come into these games.

"You go into the game and will always pick the team that you think can win but you are obviously assessing fatigue and game time for players and where they are at.

"There is a quick turnaround for the game on Tuesday but I trust in the squad and I have always said it will be about the squad.
