The Hoops manager could have borrowed something from his opposite number in Dingwall when facing Dortmund
No me neither. So, give or take a few, that makes just about all of us. And, yet according to the Brendan Rodgers bible, the views and opinions of this, the overwhelming majority, ought to be placed in the file marked ‘completely and utterly irrelevant’. Unless, of course, they happen to agree with him.
And so, even though Celtic got safely back down the road from the Highlands yesterday after rattling off a seventh straight domestic top flight win - coming from behind and eventually overwhelming Ross County - Celtic’s manager may have made the long trip south with some serious food for thought. Ross County relied upon resilience, discipline and a solid team structure in order to bridge the financial chasm between themselves and Scotland’s champions and come so agonisingly close to chalking up a result they had no right to achieve. Credit here where it is due. Lesser manager than Rodgers might have been completely flummoxed by Cowie’s stuffy game plan but he’s been round this particular block time and again during his time in Scottish football.
And, who knows, it may even resemble the kind of tactical template Cowie put in place yesterday to test the champions to the limits of their resolve. Just because it ended in yet another hard luck story, doesn’t mean that there was not something for Rodgers to take away from it and to use to his own side’s advantage at some future point. Or in little more than a fortnight.
But that doesn’t mean his strategy can’t be tweaked and customised to suit when he rolls it out in Bergamo. On the contrary, it would seem like ego stroking madness to stick with the one size fits all approach when it has failed his club so spectacularly, so many times before.
