Brendan Rodgers has warned his Celtic pace-setters have more gears to come as the Hoops boss looks to blast into 2025.The champions maintained their Premiership push with their 4-0 Boxing Day bashing of Motherwell to bounce back from dropping points against Dundee United before Christmas.

Rodgers’s men took some time to warm up against Well – with Arne Engels notching the opener from the spot in first half stoppage time.The Hoops put the foot down after the break – with fit again Nicolas Kuhn and fellow sub Reo Hatate notching on the back of Daizen Maeda nabbing a crucial second.

Celts had room to spare and Rodgers was pleased with his team’s ability to grind out results during the hectic festive period.But the Parkhead gaffer is convinced his side has more in the tank with St Johnstone up on Sunday ahead of the New Year Old Firm showdown at Ibrox.He said: “Yes, I think there is still more to come.

If you compare the performance level to the early parts of the season, obviously, of course, you're playing less and you're maybe not as fatigued or whatever else.“But still, we still demand, even in a really hectic schedule, the intensity that we want to play at.
