Celtic won against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted to BBC Radio Scotland that Mikael Lustig’s injury forced him to change the gameplan against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday afternoon.
The Bhoys continued their strong run of form in the Scottish Premiership with a 3-0 victory over Inverness at home.
After a goalless first half, Scott Sinclair put the Glasgow giants in the lead in the third minute of the second period.
Leigh Griffiths added the second on 63 minutes, and Tom Rogic wrapped up the scoring seven minutes from full time.
Mikael Lustig started the match for the Hoops, but the 29-year-old right-back came off in the 15th minute with an injury.
Celtic manager Rodgers has admitted that injury to Lustig hurt his side’s rhythm.
“We were hurt in our rhythm when Mika went off,” Rodgers told BBC Radio Scotland. “The idea was to put Stuart Armstrong back to play on that side. Inverness are a difficult team to play against and our game plan was disrupted.
“We adjusted it at half time and, within a matter of minutes, we scored the goal and, from there, we were dominant in the second half. It was very pleasing after four games when we have been travelling.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at Celtic Park on Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, hosts Celtic had 66% of the possession, took 26 shots of which seven were on target, and earned six corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Inverness had just 34% of the possession, took seven shots of which four were on target, and failed to earn a single corner, according to BBC Sport.
