Brendan Rodgers has been fortunate enough for the past number of weeks to have a full-strength squad to choose from. The Celtic bench must be terrifying to any opponent. The record-breaking Rodgers took time to heap praise on his players, their attitude, and their mentality.

“It’s a game that we’re looking forward to,” Rodgers said. “I think it’s a different feeling this time. Last year we had the unbeaten season in the league and the cups, and it was the first time the treble was won for a number of years.

“Those experiences help you. The players have been absolutely brilliant this season. One of the things they’ve been very good at is that professional attitude and mentality.
