Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was in top form post-match this afternoon, highlighting Ross County goal scorer Ronan Hale.
Rodgers spoke very kindly about Hale, even joking about his allegiance to Celtic.
Rodgers said: (The Celtic Way), “There’s no doubt. Whenever young Ronan took his shot he (Kasper Schmeichel) was off his line. So I was just more surprised that Ronan scored against Celtic.
“I said to him, I just said to him, ‘What are you doing scoring against Celtic?’ He’s a Celtic boy.’
“But no, he’s made a great start to his life in Scotland. I think he’s scored four goals now in eight games. He’s been a really good reference for the team.”
🤯 DRAMA in the Highlands as Ross County lead over Celtic!

Box office Brendan is in full swing yet again!
The longer his second spell goes on, the more sound bites he provides to the media.
The Irishman is often unbelievable in his interviews, with a sense of humour and insight into football that is always a joy to watch and listen to.
Journalists at press conferences are often left in stitches, with his wit proving second to none.
