Stiliyan Petrov has backed Celtic to beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The Parkhead legend is confident Brendan Rodgers' side have what it takes to go to Germany and take three points in their second outing in the league phase.

Celtic have three points from their only match in the competition so far - when they defeated Slovan Bratislava 5-1 earlier this month.

And Petrov reckons Celtic can step up to the challenge at Signal Iduna Park and defeat last season's Champions League runners-up Dortmund on their own patch.

Speaking exclusively to Gambling.com, he said: "Celtic will win. There’s no easy game in the Champions League, but I do believe that Celtic have the form and the capability to win that game.

"The way the team is built at the moment and the way they play, it seems like there's real understanding from players of what Brendan wants.

"Borussia Dortmund look weak at the back. Only problem for Celtic will be the pace of Borussia Dortmund on counter-attacks and breaking quickly.

"But I believe Brendan Rodgers does work on that, making sure that the team is well balanced when they're off the ball. So I fancy Celtic winning that game and coming back with three points."
