The Irishman is back in the Parkhead hot seat with a massive derby on the offing against Rangers
Brendan Rodgers has revealed he still got a thrill from every Old Firm day when he was boss of Leicester City.
“I watched others that had early kick-offs, so I saw pretty much all of them. For me, there has always been an anticipation with Celtic vs Rangers games for me. When I watched them growing up, when I was involved in them and, likewise, when I was away. I know what the feeling is. “It was September 10th, the sun was shining,” grinned Rodgers. “I remember it all very well. I had obviously watched the game for so many years on TV and seen it. I was driving in and I realised that was me inside it, that I was in the game.
Rodgers can’t promise any of his new Bhoys will conjure up an introduction on that scale across the city on Sunday. For he admits there’s simply no remedy for preparing a player to savour a similar experience. “That’s always my way, always what I’ve said to the players. Rangers will, of course, have the support and we know we have to deal with that. That’s part of the job.”
