Rodgers’ Lack Of Rotation Highlights Seriousness Of Aberdeen Challenge

Brendan Rodgers has named a full-strength starting 11 against Aberdeen at Celtic Park this afternoon, in a sign that the Irishman is by no means taking the Game lightly, despite some in the media dismissing the Dons’ chances against Celtic at Paradise.

Given that Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin has won 13 consecutive domestic Games, it’s clear why Rodgers is not taking any risks with rotation this afternoon against the second-best in-form team in the country.

Put simply, if Celtic play at their best, they will win the Game.

However, Football is not played on paper, and the form of the Dons cannot be underestimated. An experienced coach like Rodgers never underestimates any opponent.

Domestically speaking, this is Celtic’s toughest opponent so far this season, and the same can be said for Aberdeen.

That’s what makes the game so exciting, the Dons will come to compete and attack Celtic.

It promises to be an exciting match for everyone to watch and a real selling point for Scottish Football, which is so often downplayed.

Rodgers has once again shown his experience in his team selection, which can only help Celtic, especially with a strong bench consisting of the likes of James Forrest, Adam Idah, and Paulo Bernardo.
