Brendan Rodgers reveals Celtic fan dugout moment that set out ‘rules’ of being Hoops boss

After a nearly flawless start, Brendan Rodgers has spoken about the moment he learned the “rules” of being the Celtics manager—when fans were pounding on the dugout. When the Northern Irishman made his maiden trip north, he was a coup for the Hoops, and everything went according to plan.

At halftime, we were trailing 1-0, and they were pounding on the dugout! And up until then, we had accomplished everything almost flawlessly.

It’s people’s lives, and I completely get that.
