Brendan Rodgers reviews Celtic start as he insists there is more to come

Brendan Rodgers has opened up on his 10 Scottish Premiership games in charge of Celtic for the second time.

The Parkhead side have won eight and drawn two of their first round of matches in the division.

And while the 50-year-old feels like there is plenty of improvement to come from the team, he is happy with the start in the league.

He said: "Well, you always hope that that’s what you can produce. I knew it was always going to be a challenge for a variety of reasons but thankfully the players have been absolutely first-class since I’ve come in.

"I think their attitude to learning and development is absolutely superb. They’ve really impressed me in that aspect, with how diligent they are. they’re a very close group, their spirit is very strong. They’re great ambassadors for the club.

"I think that their humility is there to be seen in how they play and how they work and behave themselves.

"When you have a group of players like that, then you get new players coming in. Of course, that takes a bit of adaption but generally I’ve been really pleased, because you want to make a good start, and I think we’ve made a good start, but there are still 28 games left to go, and still a lot of exciting times ahead for us."
