Discussing Cummings, Rodgers previously said: “There’s so much involved in a young player getting an opportunity to play. I would like to think that I’ve been a coach that all my career, I’ve put in young players. If you trace my career back as a manager, before (in) my 15 years as a youth development coach, I’ve played players at 16 years of age, 17, 18.
“It’s not just about scoring goals or performing, it’s your mentality, it’s your professionalism, it’s all these things alongside ability that is what gets you the opportunity, so that’s always something I’ll assess. I think in terms of Daniel’s output, his goals in his games, he’s done very well.
“Okay, but like I say, there’s lots of things that when I bring in a young player, I consider. Young players will always get a chance here and there’s always a number of factors why they can or can’t get a chance, but the first one’s normally ability. If they’re good enough, they’ll get a chance.
“You’ll hear all these things about Celtic and the pathway. There’s not a pathway here, so they won’t get a chance. If you’re good enough you’ll get a chance. Good enough in terms of your game and good enough in your attitude. If you do that, and you have a little bit of patience, you can become a Celtic player like Callum McGregor, like Kieran Tierney, like Tony Ralston, like Stephen Welsh, like Dane Murray who’s played some games.
“You’ll get a chance, but you’ve got to have the right traits in order to be a Celtic player.”
