Brendan Rodgers told his Celtic players that patience was a virtue as they were preparing to face Valencia in the Europa League on Thursday.
The Bhoys have 5/2 to beat the Spaniards and qualify for the last 16 games of the competition, but Rodgers knows it will not be easy. Valencia has won 13 of its 23 La Liga matches this season and has conceded only 20 goals.
Rodgers hopes that his players will be able to produce a performance similar to the one they had against RB Leipzig in the Europa League group stage before Christmas when they won 2-1.
"Patience is part of the game," said former Liverpool boss Rodgers.
"It's understanding the game." You play against good teams. "Valencia has only lost four times this season in one of Europe's biggest leagues.
"It's about respecting the fact that the opponent is a good side, it's up to us to make sure that we're going to play a match and an intensity in our game that gives hope to the fans.
"The Leipzig match was an excellent demonstration and we played very well in the match."
Kieran Tierney will miss the match, which is 14/1 to win 2-0, due to a hip injury.
