Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers made headlines last week for his show of authority before the Hoops’ Scottish Cup semi-final penalty shootout with Aberdeen.
The squad were huddled in the dugout but Paulo Bernardo could be seen away from the group, speaking to kit-man Stevie Wright.
Wright appeared to be giving the midfielder advice, with which Rodgers was incensed. He steamed over and took Bernardo away.
A clip of the moment went viral on social media, with several fans praising the gaffer for his antics.
Indeed, Charlie Mulgrew has also acclaimed Rodgers for how he dealt with the situation. He said: [Open Goal via Football Scotland] “I thought it was brilliant from Rodgers. It showed a man who was in control of that situation.
“For me, I thought it was brilliant.”
Having been recently linked with the vacant Celtic under-18s role, Mulgrew could take a few leaves out of the Irishman’s managerial book.
The now 38-year-old has previously visited Lennoxtown to observe how Rodgers works after obtaining his UEFA A License.
If Mulgrew is anywhere near as successful as the current Parkhead gaffer, then things bode well for his managerial career.
