Rodgers found it strange that his style of play was being questioned after enjoying success after success playing the same way before.
Title winner Brendan Rodgers has hit back at the critics who questioned the style of his Celtic side following his appointment as Ange Postecoglou ’s successor.
And Rodgers admits he was stung by the initial negative reaction to his return as well as the accusation that his team had lost some of the attacking swagger that became its trademark under the Aussie. The man who led Celtic to 10 straight domestic trophies during his first stint in charge said: “When I look back on the titles we’ve won here they’ve all been special in their own way but this here has definitely been the most challenging, for so many reasons - and some outside football.

Rodgers was serenaded by the same hard core Celtic support which turned against him in vitriol following his move to Leicester City five years ago, at a time when he was on the verge of securing nine-in-a-row. And he insists, even though it’s taken time to win them back around, he was always sure of his ability to deliver.
