RODGERS: It’s Gordon for me
BRENDAN RODGERS last night promised his players will get in Manchester City’s faces after judging them too passive in the 7-0 defeat by Barcelona.
The Celtic boss also delivered a vote of confidence in Craig Gordon ahead of Celtic’s Champions League clash with Manchester City on Wednesday.
The Scotland internationalist is set to start against the English Premier League leaders with Rodgers’s first-choice keeper Dorus de Vries having gone on the watch list after suffering a chest injury during against Kilmarnock. “I would be 100% comfortable with Craig. He’s more than capable,” said the Celtic manager, who dropped the player after the Hoops won their playoff against Happoel Beer Sheva.
“He’s a brilliant shot stopper, he’s improving his game with his feet all the time. It’s a part of how I work, players have to work that way, there’s no compromise.”
