Rodgers was frustrated but far from furious as his team lurched to a point at Tannadice
Celtic could afford a draw with Dundee United - even if Brendan Rodgers wouldn't admit that, according to the pundits.
It means they go into Christmas Day nine points ahead of Rangers at the 16-game mark, a position that has, historically, been unassailable. It's the result of their relentless drive and hard work and a possible Invincible season is still on the cards. Speaking on the BBC, former Hoops keeper Pat Bonner said they "have worked hard early in the season to afford a day like this."
Rodgers also refused to point to his depleted squad as a reason behind the unusually flat performance. But with no Nicolas Kuhn, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty or Alistair Johnston, it was always going to be a factor, even if Rodgers wouldn't make the excuse publicly. Chris Sutton sees it that way as he wrote on X: "Celtic weren't good enough in the final third today. You can’t win them all mind.
