Did he not say he gave the benefit of the doubt to the player, and that it was the pitch that was the issue? Seems to have changed his tune. |

Perhaps not, but he's smart enough to look at the cuts to KT's knee, and speak to the player about it. That, along with it happening close to the dugout. I do think the tackle was horrendous, I'm just wondering why he's talking about that one in particular as he'd already appeared to have pointed the blame at the pitch. There's been plenty bad tackles in recent weeks. SS has been on the receiving end of some bad ones. There's scope to bring it up with the referees, I just dont think it seems his style to bring it up in public after letting others go and explaining this one away. |

On Saturday he wanted a new pitch and nothing was going to detract from that - not even KT's leg hanging off

Fair enough. I'm just surprised it's taken this long for him to mention it at all. Thought if he hadn't commented so far, he likely wouldn't do it publicly. |

First presser since. I don't think Rodgers is the type of guy to give out an exclusive to the media between games. He was also on the radio less than 15 mins after the final whistle on Saturday, I doubt he had spoken to any players in any detail about what happened in the game at that point. |

BR on Craig Gordon: "Contract offer still ongoing. These things take a little bit of time. We all want it resolved as soon as we can." BR: "This is an important contract for Craig and the Club. You don’t just snap your fingers at these things and they happen over night." BR: "So certainly not stalled, it’s just ongoing talks and I would hope that it would be resolved very soon."

Not too far away from featuring." BR on Celtic Park: "My frustration at the pitch wasn’t with the Club and wasn’t with the guys who work on it." BR: "We have John Hayes who has been the Head Groundsman here for many years and been absolutely brilliant at his work. |

STV - Rodgers calls for referees to protect Celtic players Laura Brannan The manager was shocked at the tackle on Kieran Tierney last week. Kieran Tierney was subjected to a high-studded challenge by Motherwell's Ryan Bowman. Brendan Rodgers has called on referees to protect his players, describing last week's foul on Keiran Tierney as "horrendous". The teenage defender was the victim of a poor tackle by Motherwell's Ryan Bowman in the 2-0 win on Saturday. Tierney continued to play despite the high-studded challenge but it wasn't the first which angered the Celtic manager. Rodgers was also frustrated by Iain Vigurs' foul on Scott Sinclair the week before, when Celtic beat Inverness Caley Thistle 6-0. By highlighting Celtic coach John Kennedy's playing career was brought to an end by a bad tackle over a decade ago, he stressed it is vital no other footballer goes through a similar experience. "I've seen two tackles in the last two games that weren't good tackles at all," he said. "We're a team that can play, with all due respect, any type of game. We've had physical games, footballing games, tight games and come through them all . "My players never complain, they never moan, they get up and get on with the game, that's how I ask them to be. We respect referees. "But I would like them to just have a sense of protection for our players. "I saw the tackle on Kieran Tierney, which I didn't get the chance to see last week, it was a horrendous challenge. "Now this is a kid who is coming through. He's 19 years of age, he's one of the great prospects of Scottish football. "I've a boy who's a brilliant coach on my staff - John Kennedy - who was also a brilliant prospect. In one challenge he lost his career. "Now I don't really want that to happen to one of my players, or any player for that fact, whether he's from Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs, wherever. "The players, we need to make sure, are protected. And I can only talk about my players. It's the responsibility of the referees to protect the game and the players. "We're playing a mans' game and have no problem with the aggression. Like I say, we have coped with that but the concern for me are the ones that are late." Rodgers is taking the situation so seriously he admits he will consider talking to head of refereeing John Fleming if it continues to be a problem. "I haven't spoken to him as of yet," he continued, "But I have seen enough challenges now to want to talk about it for sure. "My duty as a manager is to protect my players so I will have a look at how it evolves over the next couple of weeks." https://stv.tv/sport/football/1381504-rodgers-calls-for-referees-to-protect-celtic-players/ |
