Borussia Dortmund may have reached the Champions League final last season, but they won't be taking the visit of Celtic lightly, manager Nuri Sahin said on Monday, who is also looking forward to renewing acquaintances with Brendan Rodgers.

Borussia Dortmund have won six of their 16 games against Scottish sides, losing four of them - once to Celtic and three times to Rangers. Celtic have only won four of 28 meetings with German sides, losing 19, and have never won away from home.

Borussia Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin praised Brendan Rodgers' influence on his career ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with a Celtic side led by his former boss.
