Yes, there is a press conference every Thursday before a game. Ps- I knew this, I was just making a wee tongue in cheek comment on the levels of hysteria on these pages these days.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has expressed concern about the possible impact Scotland's post-season friendlies could have on the Hoops' Champions League hopes and the rest of Scottish football.

The Scottish Football Association, still searching for a national team boss to replace Gordon Strachan after Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill rejected the opportunity, have arranged four matches in the meantime including a trip to Peru on May 29 before taking on Mexico away on June 2.

The Parkhead club have recently provided Scotland and Hoops captain Scott Brown, Craig Gordon, Kieran Tierney, Stuart Armstrong, Callum McGregor, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths to the national squad.

Celtic, in the likelihood of them winning the Ladbrokes Premiership title again, will begin their Champions League qualification campaign on July 10 or 11 and Rodgers, hoping his side make the William Hill Scottish Cup final on May 19, pointed out the implications of a short summer break.

"We hope to make it through to the Scottish Cup final which takes you through to May 19, if you then have eight of your players at least going on a friendly tour to South America, I don't think it is helpful for Celtic, ''said the Northern Irishman, who will be looking for a "sensible decision'' to be made by whoever becomes Strachan's successor.

"Players will play 60 games plus, plus international games so that makes it extremely difficult, especially for the young players like Kieran Tierney who are starting out on their careers and have made great starts.

"You don't want them to be broken and burnt out too early in their career because of the number of games.

"Footballers are not machines, they are human beings and they need that mental and physical recovery at times.

"But I also think it is for the wider scope of Scottish football.

"The team has the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League, they need every chance they can to qualify.

"One: for the national game, to show we can put a team into the elite club competition in European football, but also two: financially.

"The financial implications the last couple of years qualifying for the Champions League is that each of the other clubs get a substantial amount of money for that and sometimes that is the most revenue that they get.

"So it is not just for Celtic. Of course, you look firstly within your club and the players but you also have to take into consideration Scottish football when you bring on a friendly campaign that far away at that time of the season.

"Some of these players had six days (off) last year, some had 10, the maximum the non-internationals had was three weeks, so to do that again, you are not giving yourself an opportunity.'

BRENDAN RODGERS has revealed Celtic are laying a new super-pitch that costs a whopping £1.5million.

The Parkhead surface was ripped up last summer with Rodgers asking for a hi-tech hybrid one to be installed.

The work won’t be finished until the start of next season.

But Rodgers is convinced it’ll make for a better standard of football.

He said: “It won’t be how I want it until the summer but hopefully it will see a faster and better game more consistently.

“The cost is about £1.5m. Thankfully the club backed us on that last year.

“Because the timeline is so tight, ideally you do it in one season, in a six-week block.

“So they had to do the first part and then the second part goes down in the summer and hopefully that’s it for a good period.”

Rodgers is a stickler for high standards and admits he has not always been impressed with the pitches in Scotland.

Rodgers said: “It’s a problem for me, not just for Celtic.

“I know we’ve had a wet winter here but I’d like to think most teams would want to have a good surface to play on.

“Listen, I think it’s just a standard that needs to be set.

“I’m sure up here there will still be coaches that are happy for the pitch to be long — but then they wonder why young players don’t have quality.”

CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers claims the development of young players in Scotland is being hindered by the quality of playing surfaces.

He reckons skills such as one-touch football are near impossible because players are so unsure of how the ball will bounce on dodgy pitches.

Rodgers accepts that the winter weather plays havoc with grass surfaces, but believes more could be done to improve standards.

He said: “I’ve seen a lot of young Scottish footballers since I’ve been up here and they’ve always got to be sure of their first touch.

“They have to take a touch because the pitches are poor.

“They don’t learn to play quickly. It’s difficult for them to play one-touch because they are always fighting with the ball.

“I’m sure there will be coaches who are happy for the pitch to be long and for it to cut up because of the team they’re playing against.

“But that’s all dated mentality, and then they wonder why young players don’t have quality.

“I know we’ve had a wet winter here which makes it more difficult, but I’d like to think most teams would want to have a good surface to play on.”

The Hoops have splashed out £1.5million to put down a hybrid pitch at Celtic Park but work won’t be completed until the summer.

Rodgers said: “Hopefully that will see a faster game and a better game more consistently.”
