What Brendan Rodgers thought of Celtic fans breaking Remembrance Sunday minute's silence – 'It's a difficult one'

Brendan Rodgers was put on the spot over Celtic fans disrupting the minute's silence before the clash with Kilmarnock by singing and booing.

It was good news on the pitch for Celtic as goals from Callum McGregor and Nicolas Kuhn led the champions back to the the Premiership summit ahead of Aberdeen. However, ahead of the game the game Killie and the Hoops joined clubs across the country in holding a minute of contemplation ahead of kick-off for Remembrance Day.

As Kilmarnock captain Kyle Vassell approached the middle of the pitch with a wreath, loud booing was audibly picked up by the Sky microphones. Referee Nick Walsh blew his whistle to commence a period of silence before the Scottish Premiership clash with songs being sung by the away end before the man in the middle brought the moment of contemplation to an abrupt halt.

Asked about the vocal stance from the away end during the moment of silence and if those that wanted to observe the tribute to the fallen should have been allowed to, he told Sky Sports: "Yes, they should. If it's a minute's silence, it's a minute's silence.

"Of course there is a little bit of issue around that each year for us when you do that, but yeah it's always a difficult one that every year. But thankfully we get the win on the football side and thankfully we go into the break in a really good place."
