Met him in Dubai, he's just an incredibly nice fella. Never thought I'd say this about anyone other than the wife, but think I may love him more than MoN

It is fitting that Celtic’s tentative steps towards the third leg of domestic Treble should come against Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup this weekend. As the Parkhead side unveil a series of events this summer to mark the 50th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions and their 1967 triumph against Inter Milan, Brendan Rodgers will look to deliver a modern day success story in keeping with Jock Stein’s philosophy. Stein oversaw the most successful years in Celtic’s history, the apogee of which came when the club became the first British side to win the European Cup. Stein’s playing career began at Albion Rovers where he spent eight seasons, and Rodgers is well aware of how significant a shadow he casts over any subsequent incumbents of the Celtic managerial seat. Other than Stein, Martin O’Neill is the only other Celtic manager to win a domestic Treble – Stein won two – and while Rodgers will do his utmost to protect his players from absorbing the pressure that accompanies that expectation this term, his own belief is that he carries a responsibility to deliver a style of playing that embraces the attacking culture that was celebrated by his great predecessor. "It was incredible what Jock did, when you see the story of where they were beforehand,” said Rodgers. “He was way ahead of his time, along with the [Bill] Shanklys of this world. "I was fortunate to have grown up with Celtic and I was aware of what he did and the background to it. But to come in to the club and see it all first-hand, to see what he achieved, his philosophy and how he managed players, is great. He also managed to inspire those players over 15 years. To strive and have the energy to do that...he was some manager.” Rodgers attended a commemorative night for the Lisbon Lions which was held in the Kerrydale suite at Celtic Park last month, an event that left such an impression that he called upon the current players to appreciate the magnitude of the achievement. “They won five trophies that season, playing 60-odd games, a fabulous achievement and I took that back and shared it with our players,” said the Celtic manager. “The will the Lions had to keep going, to keep fighting; it was sensational, really. “John Clark is here on a daily basis, of course, so I see him all the time and Bobby Lennox occasionally. I sat next to Stevie Chalmers that evening and I’ve met Billy McNeill from time to time. They are the reason I’m here – I’m here because of them, the guys who created this great history. The star at the top of the stadium is down to what they did. Of course, those fellows never had the financial rewards modern footballers get but they’re so rich in everything they’ve done for the club. They were always at the forefront of everything.” Rodgers’ Celtic side are within two games of levelling the record set by the Lions of 26-games unbeaten at the start of a season. And while Rodgers is reluctant to bury his head in the record books, he is hungry to oversee a Celtic side who deliver success by playing in a certain style. “I said at the beginning of the season that our appetite and desire to create history is important,” he said. “Celtic is a winning club and winning in the best possible way you can. Sometimes players, especially if they are protected around a big club, just do enough to win. “For us, from my first day here, it is promoting the philosophy that you win in the best way you can, that you break as many records as you can and win as well as you can. You fight and defend the culture of the club and all these aspects come into it. “But I never drown under all the stats and what it means. For me it is about preparing the team for the next game, as boring and unromantic as that is. That is the job.” And while there is inevitable chat about a Treble given that the League Cup and effectively the league are already won, Rodgers has not given any big pep talks to his players about performing a clean sweep this season, opting instead to soak up any of the expectations that surround the club. “I tend to depressurise the players,” he said. “I take the pressure and I have no problem with that. But I depressurise the players in order that they can go and perform. I think there are so many things going on, especially in the modern game where there can be so many things going on – media, social media, everything – we narrow the focus on performance. “Because the consequence of performing is that you win games and then maybe that brings all the other things you talk about. You think about it bit by bit and we set targets; qualification for the Champions league, done. League Cup, done…nest thing is what? Title. Can we win the title? “Then there are performance goals in that. Goals we score, goals we concede, can we be ruthless in terms of records that are out there, be the best that we can be. If you do that then everything else happens naturally but don’t worry about the fantasy side of it.” Rodgers_draws_inspiration_from_Lisbon_Lions_as_he_sets_out_on_Treble_journey/

BRENDAN RODGERS has vowed to treat Albion Rovers like BARCELONA. Celtic step up their Treble bid with a Scottish Cup clash against the League One minnows on Sunday. Rodgers claims he has prepared for the Rovers game as if it was a huge Champions League clash. Rodgers said: “The minute we knew Albion were our next opponents we afforded them the same respect as Barcelona, Borussia Monchengladbach and Manchester City. It’s all exactly the same, every game is studied to the umpteenth degree. “The minute you don’t is when you have an issue, you become loose and soft, and that’s when you suffer. “We’ve looked at all the details this week. I know Albion play in League One, the same division as Alloa, who we have already faced, and experienced a tough game against. “Albion are well organised, play a 4-2-3-1, they are quite direct and play off a second ball. “So it’s another game we must ensure we approach with the same level of concentration as others we’ve played this season. “No matter what league they play, we must concentrate.” Sunday’s Cup clash has been moved from Cliftonhill to Airdrie’s Excelsior Stadium for safety reasons. But Rodgers shot down claims that it will lessen the chances of a major upset. Rodgers added: “It’s not made much easier as it’s another astro pitch, which is always unpredictable. Wherever we play, the majority of games, it’s like being at home anyway.” rodgers-has-vowed-to-treat-albion-rovers-like-spanish-giants-barcelona/

Get him telt, Brendan.
If Peter Lawwell is running Scottish football then Stewart Gilmour should be GLAD not sad, says Brendan Rodgers Celtic boss Rodgers has responded to former St Mirren chairman Gilmour's accusations and said Lawwell is doing a fine job for the whole of our game.
Spoiler: click to toggle BYGARY RALSTON Brendan Rodgers has told Stewart Gilmour he should be delighted if Peter Lawwell really does control Scottish football. Former St Mirren chairman Gilmour has accused the Celtic chief executive of running the domestic game and wielding too much power over rival clubs. Gilmour claimed other top-flight chairmen are cowed by Lawwell and too afraid to go head to head with him on key issues. But his criticism cut no ice with Celtic boss Rodgers, who pointed to the £200,000 bonus his club earned other Premiership clubs this season by qualifying for the group stages of the Champions League. Rodgers said: “Gilmour should be glad. My experience of Peter is he’s a wonderful ambassador, not just for Celtic but for Scottish football. “He should be glad if he is (running Scottish football) because I believe if Celtic does well everyone else does well. “Celtic are not just representing ourselves but Scotland. In terms of the operation of Celtic, Peter has run it very well over so many years. That’s why the club is in such a stable position, such a good position. That’s leadership. “It’s given him a profile in Europe with other top presidents and directors, through his behaviour and quality of leadership in his work. He does a great job and represents Scotland very well.” Gilmour made his blast on BBC radio’s Sportsound programme in a cross chat with pundits and Hamilton chairman Les Gray. He is unhappy on a range of issues, especially the lack of transparency and the cost Championship clubs, in particular, pay for hosting live games on BBC Alba. Gilmour said: “Are you trying to tell me that Peter’s not pulling the strings? Peter Lawwell? “I don’t mean any offence to Peter. Peter’s job is the chief executive of Celtic and in terms of that job and his key primary role he does a fantastic job. “Does Peter do a great job for Scottish football? Hmm. Some of the chairmen that attend the meetings will not take Peter on. I think he’s got too much power on other clubs.” Although unrepentant when contacted by Record Sport for comment, Gilmour refused to be drawn further and said: “It’s out there. I’ve nothing further to say on it at all.” But Hibs chief executive Leeann Dempster laughed off Gilmour’s comments. She said: “Peter runs the game? I thought I did! That’s disappointing. “No, I deal with Peter just as I deal with other people in the game and that is one view. It is not one I could make a serious comment on.” And Hibs boss Neil Lennon – who served under Lawwell during his four-year stint as Celtic manager until 2014 – disagreed strongly with Gilmour. Lennon said: “We had a fantastic relationship despite what other outside influences may have thought. He is one of the top chief executives around. “I can’t comment on his dealing with other clubs, chief executives and chairmen as I was never privy to those conversations. “I would thoroughly and vigorously disagree with what Stewart had to say. I don’t know if Peter has had the opportunity to respond to what Stewart had said. “What I do know is Peter enjoys what he does and he is bloody good at it.” http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/peter-lawwell-running-scottish-football-9655884

Takes no crap, and is very well thought of by hibbees. The way she handled the orcs on twitter after the cup final was mighty impressive as well.
It seems GIlmour does not have the backing of everyone on this matter. ( not by any means ) .
