Brendan Rodgers revealed the three key ways his Hoops players impressed him this afternoon against St Mirren at Celtic Park.
With Celtic comfortably breezing past a tough St Mirren side at Celtic Park, the Irishman was happy with the way his side bounced back after a disappointing defeat at Ibrox on Thursday.
He said: (BBC Sport),”It’s a very good afternoon for us.
“The effort of the players, the movement of the players, the quality that they showed in the game was a really, really good level.”
The Hoops were certainly back to normality this afternoon.
The effort, the movement, and the quality were the difference, and Rodgers is spot on in pointing this out.
The effort in how they pressed St Mirren when they lost the ball, the movement from players like Arne Engels and Nicolas Kuhn showing for the ball, helped Celtic transition more effectively from defence to attack.
The quality in the final third, from Kuhn and Auston Trusty making the most of chances, played a key role in the impressive 3-0 win.
Trusty, who started his first game since the Premier Sports Cup final in December, where he was subbed at halftime, made the most of his chance in the team by scoring his first goal for the club.
Engels, yet again, picked up an assist from the corner, Trusty himself will be hopeful that he can not only keep his place in the starting 11 but also start to add goals from set pieces consistently, with the Belgian playmaker often so dangerous with his delivery from free kicks and corners.
