Everything Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said to Sky Sports News, ahead of their visit to Livingston this weekend in the Scottish Premiership...

Question missing from Sky Sports video.

It’s obvious in games at a club like Celtic that you have to very quickly move on, so we’ll play against Livingston, which will be a tough game for us, so that’s our focus.

You’ve obviously done it many times at different clubs. Do you do anything, in particular, to make sure there’s no European hangover when a European game doesn’t go your way and you go back to domestic action?

It’s quite straightforward really, you just have to assess the game really and reflect on it and then use that as the lever moving into your next game to improve and see where you can be better. Our focus is very much the same as before we played the game. It’s very much directed towards our intensity in the game and being really efficient in our game, so that’s the idea going into Saturday’s game and that’s our preparation.

In terms of fallout from the other night, is there any physical issues for instance, any players that are struggling on the back of that, or any players you can welcome back for this weekend?

We’ll see how Nat Phillips is. He rolled his ankle quite badly last weekend and missed the weekday game, so we’ll see how he is. We’ve still got another 24 hours to go before we make the team. Apart from that, everyone else is okay. Reo Hatate got more game-time, he’s still fighting his way through to fitness, but it was good to get him on the field and play. Apart from that, there were no other injuries.

Is Cameron Carter-Vickers getting closer?

What I said is it’s early October, so we’re still in the 21st of September, and he’s still a wee bit away.

In terms of maybe the emotional stuff after a game like that, two young players who came in and received red cards. Do they need picked up emotionally, or psychologically? How have they been since midweek?

Well, it’s just supportive. We’ve got a lot of young players who are new to the level. You get sent off in any game it’s tough, but you get sent off at the highest level and then go down to nine men, then that’s a real, real challenge. I have to say, the players applied maximum effort in the game, and the 2-0 scoreline at Champions League level, down to nine men with 20 minutes to go might prove really valuable for us later on. That’s a game that can run away from you, but the players gave everything in the game and fought right to the end. For 45 minutes to 60 minutes, we were well in the game. We’ll take that forward, emotionally when you lose a big game, there’s always a fallout from that, but I’m experienced enough and balanced enough and have enough common sense to know that you now prepare for the next game.

I don't think you overlapped too much with Livingston in your first time here, but you did have a trip to the Tony Macaroni. What’s that challenge like?

Well, it’s always a challenge. First of all, I’m looking forward to seeing David (Martindale). I met him when I was up here the first time round and he’s a good guy who always has his teams well motivated and well coached. I don’t think there’ll be any difference there, he’s done a fantastic job. The pitch is always the challenge, but we can’t make any excuse. We have to go there with a big focus, looking to maintain our start which has been really good in the Premiership.

Do players benefit from having the ones who are new, for instance, benefit from being to Kilmarnock and have had that disappointment, maybe know what things they need to do better on an artificial surface?

It’s a different type of artificial pitch, and every game is a different challenge, so we’ll prepare for this one and get the players ready and focused to get the result.
