Celtic ready to move on from PSG defeat says Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers says his side are ready to move on from the embarrassing 5-0 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Scottish champions fell to a heavy defeat during the week on their return to the Champions League group stages.

Goals from Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, two from Edinson Cavani and an own goal from Mikael Lustig compounded Celtic’s misery on Tuesday night.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s game, as reported by the Belfast Telegraph, Rodgers was feeling positive.

Your professional pride hurts. We are used to winning games and we are used to inflicting that type of performance on opponents. That is a setback against one of the great teams but the beauty is that you learn from it, that is key.

The players were great in training and very focused on the next game. You are always preparing for the next game in football. 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 match.

Celtic face Ross County at home on Saturday looking to continue their fine start to the domestic season.

Rodgers’ side sit top of the Scottish Premiership with 13 points, alongside Aberdeen, with both sides winning four of their opening five games.

Celtic’s next fixture in the Champions League is not until the 27th September, when they travel to Belgium to face Anderlecht.
