Brendan Rodgers post match | Celtic vs Rangers 3-0 | sky sports #celticfc #parkhead

Brandon well done how pleased were you with that today yeah I thought firstly defensively we uh really strong right to the very end probably a little bit in the first 10 minutes um we uh we were just a fraction passive in in our position to to put pressure on the on the ball but after that okay in the moments we had to defend we defend well um but I thought offensively I thought we were so exciting going forward and we got three goals uh the goal that was disallowed was um was a brilliant work uh buildup play and getting through so it looks so so tight um that would have been a fantastic goal for us so uh but other opportunities in the game I thought the speed in our game uh how we attacked the space was um was exceptional in the game and obviously we we get three andbe had a few more so uh everything we want make it really really difficult uh for the opposition and obviously the crowd um played their part today as well so overall uh fantastic result performance you mentioned that this allowed goal how much should that give you an extra spark in Catalyst once you got that to go and kick on and and get the three you actually did yeah but well sometimes that uh that's where is you you need something to inspire you within the game um but these games are always they can always be fret but I thought some of our play was was absolutely outstanding so um but now once we got the first goal then you could see everything gr on develop from them K McGregor was saying you didn't really want the first half the first half to come to an end given how rampant you were at the end of that first half is that the pleasing thing you just kept going for more yeah well it's it's a we we aim to make it as difficult as we can for the for the opposition that's that's the idea so we never want to rest on on 2-0 we want to get 3 four five and it could have been that in the second half I mentioned your captain just how pleased were you with his performance today and how much he is the driving force of this te well he is he's he's such an incredible captain and he's obviously having to tried to be Shackled today with de man trying to do that sort of man marking job on him when when he had the ball but he's so clever K he knows when to attract the marker when to then uh drop him and and attack the space and uh and obviously his goal it's I said to him the other day about you know three goals in three League games and I don't think he's done that before so uh so yeah he was he was outstanding you mentioned that in terms of maybe the game plan to try and stop him playing does that say a lot about him the way your team play that doesn't matter what the game plan is they won't be stopped well no listen you have to always respect I thought Rangers started well in the game uh and you always have to respect and I do I respect uh phelip massively he's he's you know having to work through a a difficult challenge as not being at the stadium and and other issues but um but I think for us we we go into every game like as with that humility KNN that we have to work um but the players work so hard and and we get to this point after a long preseason and we've started the season so well and with a real good intensity yeah I was just going to ask now that you've got to the international break where do you feel Celtic are and how much more is there to come well there always has to be more I think that we can like I said that our pressing has been really really good and for a lot of the game it was today you seen that hunger and um and that ability to double up around players so um so I was really really pleased with that but there's other aspects that we will analyze when we we look back on the game where we where we can improve but I think you see the level that the players are at and the mentality that they're they're at we're in a really good place but it's it's so early in the season and there's a lot more growth to come you were able to drip feed some of the new players in as well today how good was that for you to be able to do that and what do you expect from them going forward well I think it it will be a squad game for us it's really nice that Arna comes in Luke comes in Adam obviously uh understands Haven been at the club um but those guys know the challenge to keep the intensity keep the mentality in the game and uh yeah great for Luke you know coming in big Celtic supporter so uh he comes in makes his first appearance in a Celtic Rangers game so um so that'll give him great pride and now he knows how we function how we operate he'll hopefully only to get better but um but no it will be a collective for us this season and um that was always the message well done today enjoy the break
