Brendan Rodgers vows to ‘never stop’ ahead of Celtic vs Sturm Graz tie

Celtic face Sturm Graz for the first time in the club’s history in tonight’s Europa League tie at Parkhead.

And addressing the team’s lack of firepower, the Celtic boss said he will do everything he can to turn around the poor performances fans have been watching for weeks.

Rodgers told the Celtic press conference, “Yeah, I think that’s what I have to do, but at the same time, you’re having to find some level of stability as well.

“I think we’ve obviously had important players injured as well, which makes a difference to our level. But yeah, it’s certainly something, stability is important, and that hopefully allows you to find the tempo and the speed in the game that you actually want, and to deliver the best performance that you can.

“But yeah, I will never stop. I’m so motivated to try and find the solutions to it, and find a way, and use my experience in order to help us get there.”
