Brendan Rodgers relishing "unique" atmosphere ahead of Old Firm clash

By Christopher Dodd, Reporter | 08 September 2016

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers talks up the atmosphere around Parkhead as he prepares to manage his first-ever Old Firm clash between the Hoops and Rangers.

Celtic coach Brendan Rodgers has revealed his excitement ahead of the club's Old Firm derby clash with Rangers at the weekend.

Rodgers will experience his first Firm fixture on Saturday as the Hoops take on Rangers in the Scottish top-flight for the first time in four years.

"Each one is unique and different," BT Sport quotes Rodgers as saying.

"I am really looking forward to this game because I have heard noise at Celtic Park that I haven't heard before as a manager and a coach, wherever I have been, home or away. That is why so many players around the world speak so fondly and highly of the atmosphere at Celtic Park.

"It really is a unique atmosphere and with over 60,000 in it and with over 55,000 probably cheering for Celtic I think it is going to be an incredible occasion and a great occasion for Scottish football.

Celtic have claimed three wins from three so far this season and currently sit top of the Scottish Premiership.
