The manager expressed his delight with the result, highlighting his players’ character and resilience as they came from behind to secure all three points.Speaking to Celtic TV after the match, Rodgers said: “It was a very important win for us. The players showed a lot of heart and a lot of grit and a lot of determination.
“You can see why Motherwell have gone unbeaten. Their build-up phase of the game is very good so you have to be really concentrated and organised but even then they can sometimes can break through it well.
“But I think the players deserve a huge amount of credit because it’s not easy to play here, especially when you’re behind in the game.
“The guys coming into the game made a big impact for us and we won through in the end, and I think deservedly so with the opportunities that we had, but it was still a very tough game.
“When you’re still trying to find the level of performance that we would want, you still have to show a big heart and you have to dig out results, and that’s what we did today.”
