Brendan Rodgers isn’t feeling the pressure at Celtic despite supporter unrest and the evaporation of his side’s lead at the top of the Premiership, saying that his previous experience of managing the club means he ‘knows the rules’ when it comes to the expectation on his shoulders.

The travelling Celtic support unveiled a banner protesting against the club’s board and their inaction in the January transfer window at Pittodrie on Saturday, before Rodgers’ side angered them further by spilling points in playing out a 1-1 draw.

But Rodgers says he is maintaining his calm, and that he and his players are solely focused on improving, starting tonight when they travel to take on Hibernian at Easter Road.

“I think the experience both having been here before, for sure, and over the period of my career definitely helps,” Rodgers said.

“One of the things you learn to regulate is pressure, you find ways to deal with it.

“But you know at Celtic it’s par for the course, and like I’ve said before many times, the key is to not get too emotional with words.

“Just get a sense of logic, look at it and deal with it from there, and progress that way, because in times like this here you get too caught up in what people are saying or what they might say.

“Through until we beat Ross County this was more like our team with our speed, everything was there and for five or six games everything was turning.

“We win a game 1-0 and all of a sudden, it’s gone. So, it goes from game to game, that’s how it falls. As a manager you learn to deal with it.

“I know the capacity of the team, I know they can be better, I know how they will get better, but in the meantime you just have to block that out and focus on performance.”

Rodgers recalled an incident during his hugely successful first spell in charge of the club when the penny dropped about the sort of atmosphere he was now operating in.

“I’m sure whether it was Neil (Lennon) or myself or Martin (O’Neill) or whoever, there are always those moments,” he said.

“The famous one for me was the St Mirren game during my first time here. We had qualified for the Champions League, we had made an unbeaten start to the league, we won the first cup and had come through Christmas brilliant.

“Then we went into the Scottish Cup first round playing Jack Ross’s St Mirren and we were 1-0 down at half time, and they [the fans] were banging on the dugout! And we had done everything to that point near-on perfect.

“I actually had a look round and thought, ‘Right, ok, that’s the rules!’ “At that point - and that was a good six months in having won the League Cup and qualified for the Champions League and dominating like we were and the points in front - there was still a bang on the dugout.

“That wasn’t good enough, so I know the rules.

“I understand the emotion around being a supporter of a club like Celtic, where the wins are amazing and the losses are…people sink so low. I understand, it is people’s life, and I totally get that.

“There is no one wants this club to succeed more than me. I didn’t come back here just to have a nice life, I came back here to succeed and progress this club.

“So, no one wants to do that more than me, and I want to do that for the supporters.”
