BR:Never seen a good game of football on a plastic pitch

Reporter: How to you go about trying to play good football on a plastic pitch?

BR: Can't be done. It's all about going out there and getting a result.

Would love one of the journo's to follow up the Callum McGregor comments by asking about the benefits to a young player of being so versatile. Is it better to specialise or to develop along more general terms?

Brilliant PC from Brown. He was pretty sharp there! :lol:

HE once sold a winger for 49 million pounds Sterling.

That’s why Brendan Rodgers insists Celtic will never sell one of Europe’s best young strikers for anything less than the going rate.

Moussa Dembele has got clubs everywhere talking about him.

Premier League giants Manchester City and United are joined by Liverpool in scouting the France Under-21 superkid, with bids set to come next month.

It’s going to require patience from the Hoops board before they decide to cash in on the 20-year-old, who was signed for just £500,000 by Rodgers last summer.

But the manager vows the days of Celtic selling their best players on the cheap are long gone.

He said: “We don’t want to or need to sell anyone. Gone are the days when someone’s going to look at the Scottish market and think ‘We’ll get someone out of Celtic because it’s Scottish football’.

“A talent is a talent and, without being arrogant, I know what it looks like. I know what world class players look like.

“I had a kid, Raheem Sterling. I put him in the team at 17, and he left Liverpool for £49m. He was a winger, there are other examples.

“I understand there will be a point when something natural happens. A player might not want to leave, but there’s a pot of money on the other side that takes him to 70, 80, 90 grand a week.

“That’s not showing a lack of ambition if we let him leave, that’s about having a moral obligation. How can we hang on to a player who is offered that? The player will move. But it’s our job to protect Celtic and the talent we have.

“Having worked at a level where I know what the numbers look like, I know the value of players, irrespective of the league they are in.

“Celtic will never have to worry about losing anyone for a sum of money that’s not relative to the talent they have.”

He made big changes to his line-up for the midweek win over Partick Thistle, but insists he’d have that mentality even if Celts weren’t cruising to another title.

Rodgers added: “I never ever thought it would cost points because I always play the team I think can win the game.

“People may see it is a risk. We changed eight players when we went away to face Ross County, but I was confident the players who came in would win the game.

“It’s a great symbol of the team and how hard they work. I’ve got players who have hardly been involved, yet they are at the lightest body weight they have ever been.

“Some of them are hardly playing, yet they are still working and hoping they might get the chance, and their bodies are in great shape and condition.

“If they do come in, they will be ready. That’s a big tick in the box for their mentality, and the respect they have for their profession.

“I’ve always changed it. I remember playing a game with Swansea against Aston Villa.

“We had played Tottenham on the Saturday when Gareth Bale was playing for them, and we had a great result, drawing 1-1.

“That was the Saturday, and on the Monday we faced Alex McLeish and Villa, and I changed nine players for the game.

“Villa were coming off the best result of their season, having beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

“Big Al kept the same team, which you would do.

“We won 2-0, we were fresh and dynamic and played really well.

“To play how I want to play — with intensity, positioning and speed — I need that in the side.

“I will make the changes because I trust the group.”

This time last year Rodgers was out of football having been axed by Liverpool.

But he actually enjoyed the festive break, even though he’s a massive fan of football at Christmas.

Rodgers said: “It was nice to have that breather. I probably felt what it was like for my counterparts around Europe. Some of them have three to four weeks off.

“For me it was a little bit strange.

“But I don’t think we should lose the festive period of games.

“I’m very much a traditionalist. and games you remember can come at this time of year.

“I like the Christmas Eve fixture, too, as opposed to the Boxing Day game.

“But what’s great this year is we have the chance to recover after that which is brilliant.

“Let’s not also take away from the supporters who get a lot of memories created from these types of fixtures.

“But it’s good to recognise that players aren’t robots. They need to press the reset button, and for supporters to see the best level of football they can, this break coming up is absolutely brilliant.

“We recharge and we go again.”

Celts have been boosted with the news that James Forrest has shrugged off a hamstring injury and is set to return to action.

Rodgers added: “James is back which is great news for the squad. He’s back a lot sooner than we thought he would be. He’s fit, looks strong, and it’s a big credit to our medical team who have worked day and night with him.

“It’s a relief. He’s had injury issues over a few years, but he is a big player for us. He has pace, power and has a goal threat.

“You can see in training that he’s looking really good.

“I like his type of player. I want my teams to have speed, mobility, power, unpredictability and James gives us all of that.”

This probably belongs in the Chris Davies thread, but imagined it would probably be seen by more here. An interview with our assistant manager in today's Times by Graham Spiers. Talks very highly of Brendan and the club...

It's incredible to compare us now under Rodgers and Davies, to a year ago.

Let the good times roll :thumbsup:

Celtic’s 3-0 win over Hamilton at New Douglas Park in the Ladbrokes Premiership means they are now safe from relegation.

Their run of 22 domestic matches unbeaten has seen the club reach the 52-point mark. That coupled with their 36-point lead over bottom clubs Inverness and Hamilton means that even if Brendan Rodgers’ side were to lose all 20 of their remaining matches, they would still avoid dropping into the bottom six before the split.

According to hasithappened.net, which collates data from Europe’s top five leagues, as well as the top divisions in Portugal, The Netherlands and Scotland and the English lower leagues, Celtic are the first club from among that sample to secure their status in their respective league.

“After today’s win against Hamilton, the anomalies of the SPFL split mean that there is no possible sequence of results that would allow Celtic to fall into the bottom half of the table before the league splits, then in their remaining games fall into the bottom 2,” said Keith McNamee, who runs the website.

“In fact the lowest place Celtic can now finish in an absolute worst case scenario is 7th.”
