BRENDAN RODGERS sat in the Ibrox press room today and conceded his side were second best throughout the game.
There was no excuses, no trying to hide and no sour grapes from a man who saw his team lose 1-0 when it could have been heavier on another day.
Rodgers took the high road and knew there are always going to be bumps in the road along the way.
The Celtic manager now looks hungry to get down to the business of recruiting in January and signed off his congratulations to the home side with an ominous warning; we’ll be back, and we’ll be better!
“I’ve sat here having won and having played well, but I sit here today having lost. Today hurts, it always does, and some of our players haven’t experienced that.
“Now we can go away, recover, press the reset button, work hard and come back better.”
Celtic will head to Dubai in the new year to regroup and get back to basics with some new faces.
Timothy Weah is set to come in to ease the burden from Odsonne Edouard; a young American right back is also set to join in Manny Perez. There are more targets Celtic are actively chasing in the coming weeks which will galvanise the side.
