Brendan Rodgers bats away BBC question with live on-air barb

Brendan Rodgers didn't take too kindly to a BBC question about Celtic striker Adam Idah last night.

Fulfilling his post-match media duties, the Northern Irishman was sharp with reporter Tyrone Smith when quizzed about why Idah went straight up the tunnel after being substituted on 60 minutes.

It was the £9m striker's 12th game without a goal. The Republic of Ireland international only has eight in 31 appearances this season.

The game ended 3-3 at Dens Park, so clearly Rodgers was disappointed that his side dropped points on the road.

Doing his job, live on BBC Sportsound Smith asked: "Did he go straight to the dressing room, Adam, was he injured?"

Irked, Rodgers replied: “He came back, didn’t he? Or did you miss that?

“All right, okay, of course you would. You would miss that.

"But yeah, he walked to get to get something warmer, because he’s come off and then he obviously came back to the dugout.”
