Brendan Rodgers provides a candid reaction regarding Celtic’s approach to their Champions League challenges. Celtic’s sceptics have had less material to criticise this season as the team maintains a strong beginning to the campaign under Brendan Rodgers.

Aside from the Hoops’ significant loss in Dortmund during Champions League matchday two, the Glasgow giants remain unblemished in their other domestic and European endeavours. Celtic’s consecutive successes against Atalanta and Leipzig have secured them seven points from four league phase matches, enhancing their prospects of advancing further in the tournament.

Throughout the years, fans of rival teams and certain analysts have derived pleasure from criticising the Bhoys following their defeats in European competitions. You would appreciate their insights regarding the current manifestation of our campaign. Brendan Rodgers has expressed his opinion on how Celtic manages criticism and whether their triumph against Leipzig conveyed a message to their adversaries.

Brendan Rodgers addresses sceptics of Celtic’s Champions League prospects. During his news conference yesterday, prior to Celtic’s match against Kilmarnock, Rodgers emphasised that his team’s consecutive results over Atalanta and Leipzig were not influenced by their detractors, but rather demonstrate that the Bhoys are progressing well. He asserted,

“Critics will always exist.” I have possessed that since I commenced coaching and transitioned into management. Consequently, it will remain unchanged. That will remain unchanged till my retirement. It likely persists even at that point.The focus here is primarily on self-correction and analysis to identify areas for improvement. Critics will always exist. Therefore, you comprehend that. At times, it will be warranted, and at other times, it will not.

However, it will perpetually exist. However, what is crucial is your approach to managing that situation. I have consistently believed in finding a method to address setbacks and ensuring they do not define us. It is evident to observe the group’s spirit, quality, and their response to it. “It requires considerable courage to transition from Dortmund to Atalanta, an exceptional team, and achieve that result.”

Celtic possesses a plethora of character within the group. Clearly, certain individuals will perpetually seek to criticise Celtic; but, those associated with the club recognise that they possess the appropriate mentality for success both domestically and internationally.

In addition to their advancement in Europe, the Bhoys are actively pursuing another Scottish Premiership title and are set to compete against Rangers for the Premier Sports Cup next month at Hampden.

While the prospect of European victory is exciting, league duty takes precedence tomorrow as the champions make their way to Rugby Park.
