Brendan Rodgers blanks Celtic Champions League progression poser

Proud Brendan Rodgers refused to look beyond a brilliant 90-minute performance from his Celtic side after sharing four goals in a thriller against Atletico Madrid at Parkhead.

Rodgers gave his players plenty of plaudits but despite posting their first point on the board in Group G, their task of qualifying became tougher with Feyenoord beating Lazio. Celtic now have back to back away games in Madrid in Rome in their bid for qualifying for knockout European football after Christmas. But when asked about that prospect on TNT Sports, Rodgers said: “I’m not really thinking about that.

And when quizzed on Atletico Madrid’s quality, he said: “I’d rather talk about the quality of my team. I thought they were absolutely superb in the game. We scored two outstanding goals and for that first 45 minutes against a top team, we were great. They’ve got big quality so you always expect that but they kept fighting and working until the very end.
