Rodgers experiment fails: Three things learned about Celtic in draw v Kilmarnock
RODGERS EXPERIMENT ON ROBERTS FAILS
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers made the decision to leave his only fit striker Moussa Dembele out of the starting line-up against Kilmarnock, which makes sense with the Scottish Cup Final only a week away.
This meant that Patrick Roberts, in only his second start of the year, played in a ‘false nine’ role. which he wasn’t used to and didn’t look comfortable in at all.
