Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers insists he will not change his European approach despite suffering a embarrassing Champions League defeat at Borussia Dortmund.

The Germans repeatedly breached the Scottish champions’ defence and ruthlessly punished their visitors, scoring five times in the first half alone.

The defeat is the third seven-goal loss the Celtic manager has endured in the competition after heavy losses to Barcelona and Paris St-Germain – no other coach has suffered more than one.

While Rodgers says his side “always have to adapt” against this calibre of opposition, he conceded that “sometimes the quality just breaks through that”.

Speaking on TNT Sports, the 51-year-old added: “Will we camp in and just wait? No, we won’t do that. We know it’ll be difficult at times.

“Tonight, we just gave it away too easy and we got punished.”
