“We’ve Learned From Aberdeen Slip-Up” – Rodgers’ Warning Ahead Of Semi-Final

Brendan Rodgers has previewed Celtic’s League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen on Saturday at Hampden.

Having let a 2-0 lead slip against Jimmy Thelin’s side at Celtic Park a couple of weeks ago, Rodgers was definite that the same won’t happen again on Saturday.

He said: (BBC Scotland), “We should have won against Aberdeen, we went a bit slack but we’ll learn from that. I’m really pleased with the squad, we’ve been fantastic with lots of improvements to make.”

“It was a really good game against them here [at Celtic Park].

“We’ll be ready for that, we love going to Hampden. We’re in a good place, getting players back so we’ll be ready.”

Spot on from Rodgers. Aberdeen aside, in the second half at Celtic Park a few weeks ago, the Hoops have been excellent domestically.

With Callum McGregor and Adam Idah in contention to play, Celtic may have a full-strength team, which they will need, as Aberdeen showed against Rangers at Pittodrie this evening.

They may not dominate games for 90 minutes, but in spells, they will score goals and create clear-cut chances.

It is set up to be an excellent game on Saturday night, in which the Hoops will need to be at their very best to win.
