There were some complaints last week, but the dressing room is just the building blocks Brendan Rodgers has placed at Celtic.
In a hard-hitting week, the Premiership champions put things behind them against Motherwell at home in the league before exiting Europe with a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Lazio. Winning at St Johnstone this weekend would ease the unease within the fan base. Some have called for fewer projects and more prepared players, and Rodgers himself admits that more quality is needed to compete in the most sensible European rankings.
Some have pointed the finger at the boss’ tactics but Greg Taylor insists Celtic have adapted to life post-Ange Postecoglou, and they are enjoying it too under the new gaffer. He told the club’s podcast: “It’s been really good in terms of the new manager came in. We were all finding our feet to start with, players and staff, learning new ways.
“As the season has progressed, I think we’ve become more potent as a unit and as an organization of players, myself included. I’m enjoying learning with the new coach. “
Taylor also revealed the extra effort put into the club’s foreign imports to Celtic’s delight. Stars from Japan and South Korea are in the dressing room along with their Scandinavian counterparts and other nations, however, the left-back says many of them are doing their best to stay informed in English.
He added: “I’m looking to help each and every one who signs. We have a very multicultural dressing room in terms of players from all over the world. This can be difficult, especially when the guys are signing and their English is amazing. But one thing that I think will give a lot of credit to each and every guy who has signed this season, because they’ve made a genuine effort to be informed in the language.
“They’re absorbed and become vital parts of the dressing room. We’ve got smart senior players who lead by example and the guys coming in can stick to that, if they don’t speak the language, they see the standards. “fixed. “
