http://www.celticfc.net/news/11265 BRENDAN Rodgers hoped that Celtic’s greatest ever manager Jock Stein would be looking down with pride today after his team ran riot against Rangers in the Glasgow derby. Moussa Dembele was the hat-trick hero for the Scottish champions, with Scott Sinclair and Stuart Armstrong also on target for the Hoops in a fantastic 5-1 victory. Joe Garner got the sole reply for Mark Warburton’s side who ended the game with 10 men when Philippe Senderos saw red in the closing stages for a second bookable offence. Today was also the 31st anniversary of Jock Stein’s death when the great man passed away on that terrible night at St Ninian Park in Cardiff after guiding Scotland to the brink of the World Cup finals in Mexico. And the manager also revealed that he reminded his players before the match got underway about the legacy of the Celtic icon and his own father, Malachy, who sadly passed away on this day five years ago. Speaking after the game, the Hoops boss said: “I said that in my team talk. There were two today as my father was five years dead today, so it was ironic we scored five goals and obviously Jock Stein was 31 years today. “In one of Jock’s quotes he talked about that any football game was only about getting the two points because obviously back then it was two points. I said to the players today, for us, it’s about getting three points, but when you beat one of your rivals, it’s a wee bit sweeter and that was the message. “But the message was primarily about a guy looking down who set the tone and the template for this club, and if he is looking down, making sure we do him proud. “This is a guy who created a template of playing football here and hopefully he is looking down proud and sees a team with that mentality still to do this day – front foot, aggressive, no fear. “And when things go against you, showing that mentality to bounce back. It’s still very early. We have only been in a few months but with the players we have here and the couple of additions we have brought in, they are working at a very good level.” The Irishman was delighted with every member of the side after they dominated the game from start to the finish on a memorable day in Paradise. And the fabulous victory, coming on the back of international week, maintained Celtic’s 100 per cent start to the season and moved them four points clear at the top of the table, with a game in hand. The Hoops boss: “It was a great day for the club and the team. It was a brilliant team performance. If you think of all the travelling this team has put in over the last couple of weeks, with a lot of players away, to get back in and produce that level of performance with that energy in the team, I thought it was an outstanding team performance. “We were very prepared for the game. You have to be as Mark has done an excellent job with Rangers in how he gets the team to play. “I felt today, in every element of football, we earned the right to win a game of football. Our aggression and our pressing high up the pitch was very good and that allows us to pass. “When you press the game well, you can get on the ball and pass it and that allowed us to create opportunities. “We kept good tactical discipline and the second goal came from that. We wanted to press, but at times when you can’t press you have to drop out, and for that we were able to win the ball and score on the counter-attack. “We showed lots of elements of the team today and hopefully you can see the development from maybe a few months ago when there was bad feeling from the loss at Hampden. Today there was a very dominant performance and we showed lots of great traits in the game.” This guy. He gets it. |

Heard this on the radio. He understandably got a wee bit emotional when talking about his Dad. Was a great interview, I was in the car driving home with my 13yo son listening. Soon as the interview finished we both punched the air screaming "YES". |

The Armstrong substitution was unreal. Brilliant change while everyone around me was scratching their heads in bemusement. We have our MON back. |

We were talking about the difference between Rodgers and other Celtic managers on the way home. Rodgers has charm and gravitas and my mate said he'd never known a Celtic manager like that. I said MON was the only one with the same level of presence but it was a bullish 'I'll take you head on' type of thing. Brendan is much more subtle. He's some man. |

Based on that performance from them, they shouldn't bank on playing us three more times. |

My favourite bit of his post-match TV interview is the second 'don't be disrespectful' to the fud interviewer. One would have done the job but the second is the mark of the man.

Thought he had lost the plot when he replaced rogic with armstrong. totaly changed the pattern once more during a match. Brendan is one of those managers, players will improve no matter how limited they have looked in previous games. love the guy

As tremendous as a job that Brendan is doing, don't underestimate the effect that positivity has on the players, especially from the fans. Everyone is flying, everyone will want to be a part of a team on an upwards curve and long may it continue. Feels like really special times ahead. |

I admire his seriousness and sincerity. He seems very professional and demands the same professionalism fron his players, as well as anyone interviewing him it would seem. "Don't be disrespectful" indeed.
