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."

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."

The only surprising element of Brendan's statement is that it has taken so long for him to say it. He is right, we are going to have a serious injury if this keeps up.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers wants greater protection for players. Says Ryan Bowman's tackle on Kieran Tierney last week was "horrendous".



Glad to see the club going official on what we've all being saying for weeks
Probably reading the backlash on here after the Motherwell game. :arrr:

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers believes the absence of live TV coverage of Wednesday night’s Edinburgh derby denied Scottish football a chance to promote itself in a positive light.

The Scottish Cup fifth round replay was blacked out by Uefa regulations which prevent domestic fixtures being televised live on evenings when Champions League fixtures are being played.

Around 100,000 viewers still managed to tune into the action from Easter Road, via online streams of supporters capturing it on mobile phones through the Periscope app.

Rodgers, who was attending an Edinburgh derby for the first time, says Hibs’ 3-1 win over Hearts would have made a positive impression had it been available to wider audience.

“It was a shame it wasn’t televised,” reflected Rodgers. “I didn’t see the first game at Tynecastle, which was live on Sky, but by all accounts it wasn’t the greatest. But this one was. There were quality goals and good chances created in a brilliant atmosphere. If it was on TV it would have been a nice advert for Scottish 
football.

“All derby games are really special. Down south people may not be as appreciative because there are so many games. But it’s a game up here you can be very proud of. There was real passion in the game with good intensity. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The occasion was great. I was interested to go and see the game because we could get one of the teams as opponents later in the competition. I wanted to ensure I’d seen Hibs close up to get a feel for them, in case we meet them at some point. I also wanted to take in the occasion, which was a wonderful one.”

The performance of Hibs midfielder John McGinn especially caught the eye of Rodgers. “He’s very good. He looks like the type of player you love as a manager. I’d heard a wee bit about him without seeing a great deal of him myself. He was a real driving force for them in there. I know he’s a good friend of Liam Henderson and he played very well.”

BRENDAN RODGERS was at Easter Road for the midweek Edinburgh derby — and was blown away by Hibs star John McGinn.

He said: “He’s very good. He looks like the type of player you love as a manager.

“I’d heard a wee bit about him without seeing a great deal of him myself.

“But he is very industrious and looks a great lad. He knows the game, you can see that with the way he fills in positions.

“Defensively he’s strong, he puts his foot in and can make a tackle.

“He doesn’t oversell himself, he’s technically very good when he tackles.

“Tactically he looks like he’s got a good understanding of the game.

“He passes it well and had a couple of good moments in the game when he moved into the box.

“He was a real driving force for them.

“It’s great to see an honest boy like that doing well. I know he’s a good friend of Liam Henderson and he played very well.”

What was interesting to me was that he referred to John Kennedy as "a brilliant coach" as well as having been a brilliant prospect as a player. That is good to hear, because I think many of us were not sure if John had been initially appointed mainly for sentimental/sympathetic reasons and that BR may have felt obliged to keep him on for those same reasons. I have been impressed with the way JK has handled himself during the odd press conference he has taken.
