Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic lost against Bayern Munich at Celtic Park in the Champions League this week.

Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon has revealed to The Daily Mail what manager Brendan Rodgers told the team about Bayern Munich’s opening goal.

The Glasgow giants lost 2-1 to Bayern at Celtic Park in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

A defensive mix-up between Dedryck Boyata and Gordon saw Kingsley Coman score the first goal for Bayern.

Although Rodgers’s side subsequently equalised, Bayern scored again to win the encounter 2-1.

Celtic goalkeeper Gordon has revealed what manager Rodgers thought about the goal.

“Yeah, the manager talked to him (Boyata) about it,” Gordon told The Daily Mail. “He came in and said what he thought — and he thought we should have won the first ball.

“He felt my starting position was right to go out and make him make a decision to give us time to get back in. So it’s just a really strange goal to lose at this level.”

Over the course of the 90 minutes at Celtic Park on Tuesday evening, hosts Celtic had 47% of the possession, took 12 shots of which four were on target, and earned five corners, according to BBC Sport.

Visitors Bayern had 53% of the possession, took eight shots of which four were on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.

Celtic cannot go through to the last-16 stage of the Champions League this season, but the Bhoys can still finish third and drop to the Europa League.
