Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed what he told his players at half-time in their goalless draw against Rangers today.
The Glasgow rivals faced off at Ibrox in what was ultimately a dull encounter.
Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Rodgers was asked about his message at the break.
He stated: "I said to the boys at half-time, 'We need to be much better than that. We're being too direct when we can make that pass to get out of trouble, you know, little actions that we're good in, 3v2s, 4vs'.

"It's just putting the risk in the game, instead of playing sidewards or backwards, play forward. Make the short pass. Instead of getting rid of the ball, pass it.
"It's easier said than done in the environment
"But again, I look to 12 months ago when we were very fast and dynamic. I hope that in the next 24 hours we can get the support to the squad than give us the opportunity to be that again."
Rodgers was also asked about Celtic's links to Anderlecht striker Kasper Dolberg, and whether there has been any recent progress on a deal: "I don't know," he replied. "I'll speak to the guys afterwards on where we're at.
"There's a number of areas where we need to freshen up and I hope we can do that."
