Brendan Rodgers has been in charge of Celtic since the summer of 2016.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told The Scottish Sun that he will continue to change his starting lineup on a weekly basis.

Since becoming the Celtic manager in the summer of 2016, the former Liverpool and Swansea City boss has named an unchanged team just once.

Rodgers has said that he will continue to chop and change his team, and has revealed that his players are aware of his policy.

“I think there’s only one time leading into the St Mirren game where I’ve played the same 11 players,” Rodgers told The Scottish Sun.

“If you check back over all the other games I’ve changed the team, there’s never been the same 11 that’s played.

“But that’s an understanding the players have been aware of since the first day I came in.

“If you are going to be playing 60-plus games a season, for the intensity and demands of running that I ask of them, the same team CAN’T do it.”

Celtic do have a good squad and have some wonderful players, and it does make sense for Rodgers to make changes to his team.

It also keeps the players on their toes and does not leave any room for complacency in the team.

The Hoops have been hugely successful under the former Liverpool boss so far, and it shows that his strategy and tactics are working.

Celtic are going strong in the Scottish Premiership at the moment and are also playing in the group stage of the Champions League this season for the second year in a row.
