Players’ ‘super-human’ efforts are hailed

Brendan Rodgers hailed his Celtic side’s “super-human efforts” as the Hoops prepared to revisit the only ground where they have dropped points this season.

The Parkhead men have won 25 and drawn one of 26 Ladbrokes Premiership games so far with the only speed bump in their journey to the title coming in a 2-2 draw at Inverness in September.

Overall, Celtic are unbeaten in 32 domestic matches as they survey a return to the Highlands tomorrow night.

Rodgers said: “We have won every game from that point. If the players weren’t human I would say we would never lose a game.

“They are human but what they have shown this season already is super-human efforts to continue with the focus and concentration.

“The sign of a really good team and a great team is that you are never satisfied. You have to keep pushing and that is the idea.

“When I came in, even though we had won the title five times, I said our job isn’t to defend it.

“Our job is to win it and that means playing with an aggression and fight in every game you are playing.”
