Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, expressed his disappointment with his team’s performance in a crucial ten-minute period against Aberdeen that led to a 2-2 draw. Despite leading 2-0 at halftime, Celtic allowed Aberdeen to equalize through Ester Sokler and Graeme Shinnie in the second half.
Rodgers felt his team lacked aggression and were careless during that time frame, leading to Aberdeen’s comeback. He acknowledged that his team had control in the first half but failed to maintain it after the break. Despite creating numerous goal-scoring opportunities, Celtic were unable to secure the win due to resilient defending and goalkeeping from Aberdeen.
The manager highlighted the importance of being aggressive without the ball and admitted that Aberdeen capitalized on Celtic’s lapses. While Rodgers was disappointed with some refereeing decisions during the game, he remained philosophical and focused on improving his team’s performance.
Rodgers also provided an update on Cameron Carter-Vickers’s injury status, unsure if the defender will be available for their upcoming Champions League clash. Celtic will continue to miss Carter-Vickers’s presence in defense and Rodgers is uncertain about his return.
