Brendan Rodgers reacts with brilliant response to Celtic fans dusting off old songbook after Kieran Tierney moans

With goals from Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate, the Hoops easily defeated the Terrors, moving them 16 points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. The only minor letdown would have been Yang replacing the prolific German after Nicolas Kuhn pulled up injured prior to kickoff. Regarding Kuhn’s injury, Rodgers acknowledged that he hopes it won’t be a major problem with important games approaching.

However, it was the backlash to Rogers’ remarks about Greg Taylor’s “disrespect” that he believed the left-back suffered following last week’s match against St. Mirren. In the midst of transfer return rumors, fans cheered for Kieran Tierney, which infuriated the manager. And in an attempt to subtly poke fun at their boss and his remarks, Parkhead fans threw away their old songbooks for many past players last evening.

The supporters and their manager engaged in some lighthearted banter, with the stands showing their affection for players like Artur Boruc, Henrik Larsson, Jota, and Moussa Dembele. Rodgers was questioned about the fan base’s choice to sing the songs and chant for club legends after the Tierney song concluded the evening. The Irishman handled it with ease.

Following their songs, Rodgers addressed Celtic supporters.

The Celtic manager laughed and said, “I think the only person who missed out tonight was the kit man.” However, isn’t everything a part of the dance here? It’s my responsibility to put the best team on the field, win every time, and make everyone happy. After speaking extensively on the jeering of sideways and backward passes in recent weeks, Rodgers was also questioned about the patience of the fans in the stands. He was also happy that the fans were paying attention to what he had to say.
