Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers acknowledged that his team lacked tempo in their play until making substitutions in a goalless draw with Hibernian. Despite dominating the game, Celtic struggled to create clear-cut chances until the last 20 minutes when the tempo increased and they connected the game better. The team had about 20 attempts at goal but were unable to make a breakthrough.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers admitted his side lacked tempo in their play until he made some substitutions in a goalless draw with Hibernian.
Of those, James Forrest hit the bar, Oh Hyeon-gyu had a header saved and Mikey Johnston was denied by Marshall with an impressive save from a long-range strike, while David Turnbull was also heavily involved in the play. “We played too many longer passes, we wanted to really be playing shorter, quicker passes which are a bit more difficult to defend.
When asked if Wednesday’s exertions had an impact, the manager said: “It could well be but I never want to use that as an excuse. The players had a massive effort in midweek but we have to be able to go again.”
