Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has said he “had a laugh” about the sexism row over his “good girl” comment with the journalist involved.

Rodgers said he was “saddened” by the reaction, while the BBC Scotland sports reporter he made the comment to, Jane Lewis, has said she believes he did not mean to offend and she has not taken any offence.

During a BBC Sportsound radio interview following Celtic’s 3-1 win against Motherwell on Sunday, Rodgers was heard saying “good girl” following a line of questioning from Ms Lewis.

The Celtic manager told a press conference at Celtic Park on Tuesday: “I have spoken to Jane. She wasn’t offended. We had a laugh about it, she will continue to ask me awkward questions, I’m sure.
