Hoops might be in Pot 4 and 'easy meat' but Hoops boss Rodgers won't be going quietly

- MICHAEL GANNON

CELTIC have already been written off as Champions League no-hopers by arrogant Dutch pundits.

But Brendan Rodgers reckons his Hoops side might just make a few of them eat their words.

The Scottish champs kick off their campaign in Holland on Tuesday night in Feyenoord's famous De Kuip bear pit.

And Dutch broadcaster Aad de Mos has claimed the points will be like taking sweeties from a wean as the Parkhead men play "childish, attacking football".

Meanwhile former Feyenoord star Karim El Ahmadi shrugged off injury concerns up front, insisting his old club could play without a striker as Celtic "just won't have the ball".
