THERE is always a lot on the line when Celtic play in any competition, particularly for the club’s manager. Any defeat, of course, is a disaster, while even a draw can be treated as verging on the catastrophic.
“Obviously Kilmarnock, as you saw against Rangers, are very hard to beat and that’s Derek [McInnes]’s teams. To be fair, they are always very competitive - some of the best organised in the country. “We treated every game like it was a cup final whether it was the league or a final. Every game we were ready for. We’d some tough games in that as well, especially on the back of European competitions.
The injury to Carter-Vickers though may open up an opportunity for new arrival Gustaf Lagerbielke, with the Swedish centre-back impressing Rodgers during his first few training sessions at the club this week.“It’s about him coming in and adapting and seeing how he is. He’s in a really good place physically and up to speed with the game so he’s another consideration for us.”
