Celtic have released some superb footage from the Parkhead dressing room as they announced a new documentary coming to Celtic TV.
Celebrating the double-winning season, the clip has gone viral after being viewed over 300,000 times since it was published at 5:30 pm yesterday and it shows Brendan Rodgers‘ team talk just before Celtic took on Hearts on the 4th of May last season in the first of the final three home games in the title run-in.
Celtic beat the Edinburgh side 3-0 and then went on to defeat Rangers and St Mirren to win their third title in a row.
Brendan Rodgers’ rousing Celtic speech
Rodgers’ team were unbeaten in the final five fixtures of the season and it is little wonder when you look at what he told his Celtic team just before the Hearts kick-off.
Rodgers can be heard telling his players, “You’ve got three games here to make this hell for the other team.
“And we do that with our attitude and energy. We do that, you’re quality will come through and this becomes a really difficult place again.
“So that’s the mentality. Paradise is for us, it should be hell now, starting today, for these last three games.”
Talk about goosebumps. It’s this kind of content that the Celtic fans love and it is reminiscent of the time Ange Postecoglou was mic’d up when he took his first-ever training session at the club.
Exciting season ahead for the Celtic fans
Celtic were rampant at the tail end of last season and as well as beating Rangers at Celtic Park, they also disposed of Philippe Clement’s side at Hampden to lift the Scottish Cup and seal the double.
Rodgers seems to have carried over that form, and improve it, into pre-season and the new season as Celtic have remained unbeaten in the US Tour and the first three domestic fixtures against Kilmarnock and Hibs (twice).
This season promises to be a memorable one for the Celtic supporters and after viewing this video, the fans will be excited for what’s to come over the next few months.
