Brendan Rodgers believes Celtic’s Europa League win over RB Leipzig is his side’s best victory at home during his two-year reign as manager.
Leipzig sit fourth in the German Bundesliga but were beaten 2-1 by the Scottish champions.
“It was a fantastic victory and one that I’m very proud of,” said Rodgers.
“I think tonight was a proper win for us against a top-class side sitting high in their domestic league and everybody knows Leipzig’s quality.”
After hammering Rosenborg 5-2 in Norway, RB Salzburg lead Group B by six points from Leipzig and Celtic, so it looks likely the German and Scottish clubs will compete for second spot.
Because Rodgers’ side did not match Leipzig’s 2-0 win over Celtic in Germany, Ralf Rangnick’s team remain second as a result of their head-to-head record.
But Rodgers said: “The most important thing was to win and win well and I think we did that.”
When asked if it was his best and most satisfying win in Europe at home as Celtic manager, he agreed considering “the level of the opponent” and quality of performance.
