PITCH PERFECT AS DIGGERS MOVE IN

BRENDAN RODGERS had issues with the playing surface at Celtic Park all season, believing that it slowed the team down and restricted the speed that the team could move the ball.

He even blamed the pitch for dropping two points at home to Sevco Rangers in March and also claimed it was a factor in that horrendous tackle on the touchline on Kieran Tierney by the Motherwell thug.

CQN revealed that the manager was unhappy about the pitch and that Celtic would take action as soon as the season ended to sort the problem.

Yesterday’s Celtic Foundation kick-about between Henrik’s Heroes and Lubo’s Legends was the last action on old pitch that was laid after the Commonwealth Games.
