Celtic Manager Reflects on 4-1 Victory Over Hearts

Speaking to BBC Scotland, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed his satisfaction, remarking: “I’m really pleased. [Tynecastle] is a really tough place. To win 4-1 was really pleasing.” He further explained the team’s tactical adjustment, noting: “Second half, we figured out their press. They have normally been pressing in 4-4-2 but changed it slightly. It just meant we had to drop a man in our build-up play.” Rodgers also commented on the game’s progression, stating: “We had some good moments in the first half, but once we were able to play through that pressure, I thought in the second half we were excellent.” Concluding his remarks, the manager added: “It’s a very exciting period for us. All the players know they will play, they just need to be ready.”
