Rodgers impressed by Celtic form

Edinburgh: Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says his players showed they have the mentality to handle the big games as they turned on the style in a 3-0 win over nearest challengers Aberdeen on Wednesday.

Much had been made of the test Celtic would face from the Dons, with only goal difference separating the sides at the top of the Scottish Premiership before kick-off.

However, the Hoops made light work of their hosts with Kieran Tierney and a Moussa Dembele double giving them the win,

“Tactically they are improving. Over the course of the 16 months we have been here, what I have been pleased with is the mentality in the big games,” Rodgers said of his side.

“We’ve got big players who can perform well in big games and they have the confidence to play.” (AFP)
