Brendan Rodgers may have feared Celtic's season was at a tipping point at St Johnstone - and he was right to dig his players out.

That's the view of former Hoops boss Neil Lennon who reckons the direction of the campaign was hanging in the balance when Rodgers' men went in to the break at McDiarmid Park one nil down.

The second half turnaround ensured the Scottish Premiership leaders kept their advantage over Rangers intact but only after the Irishman, who admitted it was the angriest he has ever been in a dressing room at the interval, had read the riot act to the squad.

Lennon admits it's not in the 50-year-old's character, but that he earned his crust by digging out the slow coaches in his side.
