Brendan Rodgers: The Celtic Park pitch has a disease
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed the club’s playing surface is suffering with a disease.
The turf was visibly cut up in places on Saturday as the Hoops entertained Airdrieonians in the Scottish Cup.
This was despite the club installing a hybrid surface at the cost of £1.5 million last summer.
When asked about the state of the pitch prior to his side’s match with St Mirren on Wednesday evening, Rodgers explained the situation.
He said: “There’s a disease in the surface so it’s unfortunate really.
“We have a great team of ground staff and the guys are working very hard to make that right.”
