Celtic FC,St Mirren FC,Scottish Premiership

Rodgers will get his hands on another Premiership trophy this weekend when his champions face St Mirren.

Brendan Rodgers says it's 'satisfying' proving his Celtic doubters wrong - admitting 'I'm not made of wood.'

It's been a season of challenges but the Hoops will lift the trophy on Sunday and have already accrued the most points they have over a season since Rodgers' first, the Invincible Treble campaign. Rodgers admits he's heard the critics loud and clear - and it's been satisfying to prove them wrong. "I can trace back to August, when the headlines were that I was under massive pressure. That was in August and it's continued right the way through. I had to show mental strength like the team has had to do and eventually, the work that we did came through in the end. It's been a challenging season in ways that I didn't think it was going to be.

"I tend to think of my teams like a top boxer. A top boxer isn't throwing punches all the time, he needs to put his guard up now and again. My teams are reflective of that. They attack, they're aggressive, they score goals, and they defend well.
