GLASGOW (Reuters) - Celtic coach Brendan Rodgers hailed Barcelona's Lionel Messi as probably the greatest player ever after the Argentine magician put the Scottish champions to the sword again with both goals in a 2-0 win on Wednesday.

Messi, returning to the team after illness, proved the difference as Barca comfortably took their place in the last 16 of Europe's premier club competition.
