Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers spoke to reporters after his side’s dominant 5-0 win away at Dundee last night, and shared the one criticism that he gave his players during the half-time break at Dens Park, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times.

Last night’s comfortable win was a much needed one for the Hoops, and they now sit in second spot in the Scottish Premiership table, four points adrift of league leaders Hearts, but they do a have a game in hand over the Edinburgh outfit.

Rodgers’ side have been far from their best this season, but they showcased their undoubted quality last night, and it would take a brave man to bet against them going on to win the league for eight consecutive season.

The Celtic boss spoke to reporters after the game last night, and talked up the quality of his side’s display, although he did share one criticism that he gave his players at half-time, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times:

“We pressed without the ball and, when you have it, some of the goals were real quality. My only criticism at half-time was the back four was too deep. But every other element of our spacing was good. I tend to want goal scorers on the pitch, as many as I can. Five different scorers showed it was working. The concentration has been on getting back to our level. We’re right in the flow now, in terms of goals and creativity.”

Next up for Celtic is their huge home clash with Hearts on Saturday, and Rodgers’ side will have to be on tip-top form, if they are to have any chance of beating the league leaders.
