Brendan Rodgers wants Celtic to seal the title quickly
Saturday 7 April 2018 14:15, UK
Brendan Rodgers is calling on Celtic to wrap up their seventh successive Premiership title as soon as possible.
The Hoops have drawn a blank twice in their last three matches, the most recent a goalless draw at home to Dundee on Wednesday night.
Nevertheless, the Parkhead side, aiming for a second successive domestic treble, are 10 points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the table with six games remaining.
The first of those fixtures is at Hamilton on Sunday and the Northern Irishman is in a hurry to get the title wrapped up.
He said: "We knew it would be tough games during this spell. But we have recovered well from the other night.
"We want to win every game we play, but we didn't do that so we have to take our point.
"But, (it's) still a great position, six games to go in the league, 10 points clear and a good goal difference.
"We have to go into each game and make it count and look to get to the finish line as quick as we can."
Despite gearing up for what he hopes to be another successful finish to the campaign, Rodgers is already preparing for next season.
He said: "You have to plan forward, I am sure every club has been doing that. We have been doing that for a period of time now.
"Myself, (chief executive) Peter (Lawwell) and head of recruitment Lee Congerton have had all our local and international scouts here over these last couple of days to make sure we are focused in on what exactly it is we are looking for in the summer.
"Of course there are things you can't plan for. But certainly we are looking at it in detail, in terms of how we can continually make improvements."
