Rodgers on transfer window, Dundee & 'not having the hump'
Brendan Rodgers has been addressing the media before Celtic host Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night.
Here are the key things he said:
On the January transfer window, Rodgers said the club "done some really good business" but conceded "one or two things didn't quite drop" and so "the squad is lighter".
Rodgers reiterated he "wanted" to bring in a forward replacement for Kyogo, but stressed it's "never as plain and simple as people think".
The manager admitted "we could've done better" but added: "I'm not going to become frustrated now and kill my joy of working here every day by thinking, 'what could have been'."
He confirmed a deal to bring Kieran Tierney in in January "wasn't close".
Rodgers stressed "he can't have the hump" if he wants to continue being the manager who "inspires and motivates".
He is hopeful the "physical and pacey" Jeffrey Schlupp will be involved against Dundee.
The manager said the 3-3 game against Dundee last month "was easy to analyse" and assured his side "won't be so soft in defence".
