Brendan Rodgers has saluted fans outside Celtic Park after his side's 1-0 victory over Rangers at Ibrox.

A goal from Kyogo Furuhashi in first-half stoppage time was enough to give the Scottish champions all three points in Govan.

The 50-year-old clearly enjoyed the result after he was pictured raising a fist after he drove by fans outside the Hoops' stadium.

It came after the Northern Irishman waxed lyrical about his players at full time, with Liam Scales in particular being singled out for praise.

He told BBC Sportsound: " I think the players needed that win to feel what it is like and feel what the intensity is like at a club like Celtic.

"To come here and play, especially in the first half, really good football with that composure we want to play.

"In the second half, we had to fight and show resilience. Any games I have ever won here, despite the scoreline, you always have to defend in moments and the players did that.

"The scoreline could have been better for us in the second half if we had been clearer with our passing and the final ball.

"To come here and keep a clean sheet, to come here and win without one supporter in the stadium except our board is brilliant and I am so happy for the players.

"I thought he [Scales] was absolutely magnificent today, I can always rely on him.

"He's a good guy, he wants to play games and I thought today he really stood up to the challenge and was absolutely brilliant. I'm very happy for him."
