BRENDAN RODGERS has branded Tynecastle and embarrassment to Scottish football after he seen the state of the pitch this morning before the game.

The grass was so long it wasn’t conducive for a good game of football and Celtic had to adapt their style.

It would’ve been no mistake and Hearts were trying to gain any advantage possible over the rampant Scottish champions.

“We couldn’t play our normal game today, the pitch, I’m actually embarrassed of to be honest” the Irishman admitted.

“For Scottish football and the standards they are trying to create, the pitch was so long the players couldn’t pass on it and that’s both sets (of teams)

“You have got to find a way to win, and the players found a way to do that”
