Celtic fans felt the wrath of boss Rodgers following the weekend win over St Mirren as he accused them of 'disrespect' over chants from the stands for former hero Tierney. He said: “There was a few things that I may have overheard at the end there. That’s a total lack of respect. Of course there is. Greg Taylor, he's been absolutely amazing at this club. How does he feel?
“He nearly breaks his nose, bleeding for the club, for a cause. It's not very respectful. You sing for another player, no matter what Kieran’s history is. I don't like that. There's lots of speculation, lots of names, but I wouldn't add anything to it.”
