Brendan Rodgers discusses Celtic’s recent surge in confidence, attributing it to a period of relatively uninterrupted matches due to decreased injury woes.
In his second stint as manager at Parkhead, Rodgers highlights the absence of major fitness concerns as a significant factor contributing to the team’s current form.
Key players like Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor, and Cameron Carter-Vickers have all faced injury setbacks throughout the season, but Rodgers notes that the squad is now enjoying a clean bill of health.
The recent goal-scoring spree, with 23 goals in their last seven matches across various competitions, has buoyed Celtic’s spirits. Rodgers acknowledges the team’s improved performance in front of the goal, contrasting it with earlier displays in the season.
Rodgers attributes the upturn in form to dedicated training sessions focused on breaking down defensive setups, alongside the emergence of players like Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah, as well as the return of Carter-Vickers and Hatate. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus on each upcoming game, particularly the match against St Mirren, despite the looming Glasgow Derby.
Recognizing the support of the fans and the need for patience and determination in pursuit of the title, Rodgers underscores the significance of taking one game at a time. The upcoming clash with St Mirren holds paramount importance, with the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table.
