Ahead of Celtic’s Premiership clash with Kilmarnock on Sunday, Brendan Rodgers couldn’t help but share a light-hearted moment with the press, joking, “I can never moan again!” The comment came after a week in which his team delivered an impressive 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League, a result that has lifted Celtic’s European campaign to new heights.
Rodgers’ quip is a reflection of the contrast between the demanding nature of his role and the incredible performances his team has been putting in. Celtic’s 3-1 win over Leipzig was a highlight, as they came from behind to secure a vital three points, pushing them into a strong position in the Champions League group stage. With the atmosphere at Parkhead hitting astonishing decibel levels and fans roaring their support, Rodgers has reason to feel positive about the current state of his team.
The victory over Leipzig also served as a testament to the depth and quality within Rodgers’ squad. New signings like Alistair Johnston have been crucial to Celtic’s success, and players like Reo Hatate and Nicolas Kuhn are delivering when it matters most. Despite the challenges posed by European football, Rodgers has managed to keep his team focused and firing on all cylinders, balancing domestic and continental duties with ease.
Looking ahead to the trip to Kilmarnock, Rodgers will be keen to maintain that momentum in the Premiership. Celtic go into the game with a strong record, unbeaten in the league this season, and they will want to continue their dominance as they face a Kilmarnock side struggling for consistency. The manager, in good spirits, is hoping to keep the team’s impressive run going and joked that he may have to leave any complaints about performance to other, less fortunate managers!
