During the match, there was a moment when Celtic striker Griffiths was berated by manager Rodgers following his challenge on Rangers midfielder Josh Windass.

The Scotsman has revealed what the former Liverpool and Swansea City boss told him after his challenge during the Old Firm derby.

“The manager has been calm most of the time he’s been here — that’s one of the few times he’s lost it,” Griffiths told The Scottish Sun.

“It wasn’t great to see, so hopefully I can stay on his good side now. The message was just to stay calm.

“At the start of the second half tempers were getting a little bit frayed, so he just told me to keep the head and concentrate on my football.”

The win against Rangers means that Celtic are now at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 19 points from seven matches.

Pedro Caixinha’s side are fifth in the league table at the moment with 11 points from seven games.
