Q: Is it dangerous? The title is such a strong position but there’s also a Scottish Cup to win as well. It sounds like that mentality is dangerous at this stage when there’s still work to be done.
Brendan Rodgers: “I don’t threaten the players. The players have been brilliant for me this season and like I said I don’t like us to just get over the line. They’ve been brilliant but this here side of it I don’t like. We haven’t won the league yet. Yes, we’re 13 points clear, we’ve got six games to go but there’s still a lot of work to do.
“My feeling is, and this is what I said before the game, top teams, they have talent, they have a system, and they have a spirit and an ambition to win. The third one has been a wee bit ropey for us. We clearly have talent; we have a system and structure you see in the second half and other games where it works really well. But before any of that there has to be a desire and a mentality. A couple of times just a little bit timid and that’s one of the big pitfalls to succeed for me. You just can’t be timid.”

Brilliant analysis by Rodgers. He said he’d look at himself in the mirror… nothing new there. Hope he leaves in the summer. Once a snake, always a snake.
