Celtic continue to suffer, months after Brendan Rodgers’ exit.
Let’s be honest, Celtic have been playing some woeful football, from when Rodgers was in charge at the start of the season to the current moment, with Martin O’Neill in the dugout.
But whilst Celtic produced a poor display at Hearts on Sunday, Rodgers continues to enjoy himself in the searing heat of Saudi Arabia.
Al-Qadsiah continued their winning start under the Irishman, after beating Al-Najma SC 3-1, and Rodgers was in a defiant mood about his new club’s style of play.

What do you make of Brendan Rodgers’ new job after leaving Celtic?
Celtic hero Brendan Rodgers on style of play at Al-Qadsiah
Style of play has been a common theme in Glasgow this season. Rangers went through their comical period under Russell Martin.
And then, Celtic went through a nightmare 33-day reign under Wilfried Nancy.
Whilst the pressure in Saudi Arabia, and at Al-Qadsiah, is nowhere near what Rodgers would face daily at Celtic, he is being pretty clear with what he wants from his new side, as he told Al-Qadsiah’s website.
“We had limited time to recover, but we knew exactly how we wanted to play the game, and the players executed it perfectly,” said Rodgers.
“I’ll say it again, our style of play will not change. We play an attacking game while maintaining a high level of balance.”
Al-Qadsiah can’t stop scoring as records continue to tumble…
Celtic fans would do anything to go back to the first half of last season, when the team was playing their best football of Rodgers’ second spell.
Well, Al-Qadsiah supporters are tasting that now because, after becoming the first man in the club’s history to go unbeaten in his first six matches, he added to that over the weekend.
That has seen Al-Qadsiah fire up the Saudi Pro League table, as they are now only six points behind leaders Al Hilal, who have a star-studded team that includes Darwin Nunez, Theo Hernandez, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
