Brendan Rodgers rages over Celtic team leak as boss tells dressing room mole 'you're not a supporter'

Brendan Rodgers refused to let a team LEAK put a dampener on Celtic's day as it rained goals at Hampden.

The Hoops hammered in-form Aberdeen 6-0 in a Premier Sports Cup last four clash to book their final berth on December 15. A Daizen Maeda hat-trick and goals from Kyogo, Nicolas Kuhn and Cameron Carter-Vickers put the Dons to the sword. But only after Rodgers’ starting line-up appeared on social media before kick-off for the second game in a row.

It also happened before their Premiership victory over Dundee in midweek and the manager has vowed to find the Parkhead mole. But after a scintillating display against Jimmy Thelin’s men he doesn’t want it to detract from their performance. On the team news leak, Rodgers said: “It’s clearly disappointing and it’s not ideal, however it comes out.

“There are no real secrets in football, that’s the reality. But it’s not nice when it gets out there. And especially if it's from Celtic supporters.

“It might feel great for someone's ego to put it out and pass it on to other people. But as a manager, I can tell you that I've had that before with opposition teams. And when I've got to know about it, it has really helped me in my preparation - and it has helped me win games.

“So whoever is putting it out, if it's someone from Celtic, you're not a Celtic supporter. Because you're not helping Celtic. We will do everything we can to find out (who it is). But I don't get angry about it. It's the modern world now, isn't it? There's so much communication.

“But I’d like to think it won't be until you play Celtic and you're standing in front of them that you feel our intensity. You can never know that until you play against us.

“It won't dampen our performance and our achievement today,
