Brendan Rodgers laughs off Celtic fan troll attempt as old school songbook branded 'part of the dance'

Brendan Rodgers saluted the Celtic support for sticking with his side as he laughed off the succession of old Bhoys chants.The Hoops boss was thrilled to see off Dundee United 2-0 to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership to a whopping 16 points.

And he was delighted to draw a line under his recent anger at some of the reactions from the crowd. Rodgers wasn’t pleased at some groans when trying to break down St Mirren at the weekend but the punters stayed patient last night despite the killer second goal not arriving until late on.And he was amused at the roll of former favourites serenaded from the stands after he had a pop at fans chanting Kieran Tierney’s name against Saints as a slight against Greg Taylor.

When asked if he liked the response, Rodgers said: Absolutely. The crowd were brilliant. They can get a bit edgy. We are a support that can fret a wee bit but I think it was there.“That support was so important.

It was fantastic tonight. It was such a cold night to come out and see the team. The numbers turned up and gave the team a great support.
