PSG thrashing hurt ―Brendan Rogers

Celtic suffered their heaviest ever home defeat in a European competition against a rampant PSG.

Brendan Rogers has admitted that Celtic’s pride took a big hit on Tuesday, when his team were demolished 0-5 at home to PSG.

It was an unprecedented defeat for ‘The Hoops’ at Celtic Park, taken apart by the most expensive forward line of all time in the form of Mbappe, Cavani and Neymar.

Domestically, though, the SPL champions remain unbeaten since May 2016, and Rodgers wants his team to bounce back as quickly as possible on the weekend against Ross County.

“Your professional pride hurts,” admitted Rodgers.

“We are used to winning games and we are used to, I suppose, inflicting that type of performance on opponents.

“That is a set-back against one of the great teams but the beauty is that you learn from that, that is key and we have always shown that.

“The players were great in training and very focused on their next game.

“You are always preparing for the next game in football. You have a disappointment but very quickly you are on to your next game.

“Ross County will be a difficult game, a different challenge for us.

“But we go into it with the same ideas, to look to win the game.

“It is still very early on in the season but we have started the league campaign very well and we want it to continue.’
