The 19-year-old was given the nod at right-back for the third consecutive match.
Donovan didn't put a foot wrong in the 1-1 draw, and Rodgers wasn't hesitant to laud the youngster post-match.
"I thought he was absolutely outstanding," the Celtic boss told TNT Sports.

"I said to all the players after, I thought he was incredible in the game for a young player, making his fourth or fifth start for us. To play to that level in such a tough stadium to come and play in.
"He's just turned 19. He's just got personality. It's the big thing. He's not frightened of anything. He goes into the game, he takes the ball, he passes the ball forward, he runs forward, he's aggressive, he stops crosses, and that's how he trains. He trains to that level every day.
"I'm so so happy for him. He's stepped in, and he's obviously playing consistently now. To come here and perform like that was outstanding."
