Brendan Rodgers targeting domestic domination with Celtic
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is again targeting domestic domination with style as the champions prepare to begin their title defence against St Mirren. Rodgers was a penalty shoot-out defeat against Aberdeen away from completing his third treble as Celtic manager last season after finishing 17 points clear of Rangers in the William Hill Premiership. A new challenge awaits in terms of a Rangers side under new ownership and new leadership in the form of head coach Russell Martin. However, Rodgers said: 'The aim as a Celtic manager is always to dominate every competition. 'We have obviously qualification for the Champions League that we want to arrive into, and we want to be really competitive in that competition if we arrive there. 'That was our idea last year. Nothing changes. You add to that the pressures here at Celtic, it's always about not just winning, but winning in a style of football. That's always the pursuit of the teams here, to play attacking, aggressive football. 'So it's not just about winning, it's how we win, which is important for us.' Rodgers is still looking to add to his squad in the forward areas and confidence gained from impressive pre-season wins over Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle was balanced by a 5-1 loss to Ajax. The Celtic manager has seen plenty to encourage him in terms of how well his players have prepared. 'This is my third pre-season since I've come back and the metrics of the team and the squad that we've had is at the highest over the course of the pre-season,' he said. 'So, in terms of the guys that are here, they've worked so hard. Everyone at the club has put together a fantastic pre-season programme for us and now we arrive into these last couple of days and ready for flag day, which is a special day for us.' St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will embrace a tough start to the campaign which sees them also facing Motherwell, Rangers, Hibernian and Premier Sports Cup opponents Hearts in August. 'If you watch my teams playing, we don't play with fear,' Robinson said. 'We play on the front foot, we press every team and we try and play, we try and pass, we've got real energy and pace in the team, real creativity in the team and from Christmas onwards you saw what we were about. 'I don't think there'll be any team that relishes playing us and that's the way we have to make it. We have to go at people, we have to play him behind people and we have to play with the pace and energy that we have on the side and we certainly don't fear anybody. 'We embrace it and we look forward to it and I think the players come in every day believing that they can win every football match.'

Brendan Rodgers: 'Someone else' will be Celtic manager if club does not keep building
BRENDAN RODGERS HAS delivered a clear message to the Celtic board – show ambition to drive the club forward or he will not extend his contract. Rodgers is entering the final season of his three-year deal and told principal shareholder Dermot Desmond and chief executive Michael Nicholson that he is not interested in performing a maintenance job. The Celtic manager reiterated he would be going nowhere of his own volition before his contract expires but his long-term future remains unclear. Asked about his contract situation ahead of Celtic's Scottish Premiership opener against St Mirren on Sunday, Rodgers said: 'Dermot and Michael and I had a conversation over the summer on where we were at. 'I said: 'I'm very happy here'. There's conditions we want to be able to improve and be better because I'm not the type of manager that's good at maintaining anything. If it's just something to maintain, I'm not the manager of Celtic. It'll be someone else. Advertisement 'But to build and grow and develop and push, then of course I love being at Celtic. 'I'm not the one that's going to sit here and just maintain levels. My commitment here to Celtic is this is a really fast-moving club and you have to keep moving, move quickly. 'It's one of the biggest clubs in world football. It has a demand and an expectation on it and the only way you get better within that is by improving and developing.' Rodgers stressed he was not saying the club had to match his own ambition. 'I don't want to be really arrogant to say that,' he said. 'Celtic clearly has an expectation and should have an expectation because of the size of the club we are, and what the demands are here. 'What I'm saying, for clarity, I love being here. And, yes, there's been some challenges on and off the pitch since I've arrived, but that's management, that's coaching. But in the main, I've absolutely loved it here and I will continue to do so however long that is. But like I said, there has to be that ambition from everyone. 'In terms of my situation, I'm relaxed on it only because I know what I give every single day. And if the club choose to offer (a contract) and see that as the way forward, great. If not, it doesn't really matter to me in relation to what I give to the job. 'My ambition is for Celtic. It's not for me. My ambition is for Celtic to be the best that it can be. 'I've been in the game quite a long time now. So I think I understand what we need to succeed. We did that last year. We brought in certain players that helped our profile when we moved into the Champions League. And those players really helped us in the Champions League. 'So my ambition now is to keep us going in that direction. And that's what our conversations are about.' Rodgers has stressed the need to bolster their attacking options in recent weeks. Shin Yamada arrived as a belated replacement for Kyogo Furuhashi but the sale of Nicolas Kuhn to Como has compounded a lack of wide players following the long-term knee injury Jota suffered in May. Rodgers said: 'There's no doubt I would have liked to have had players in now, but it's not the case. I'm not going to kill my own joy and overthink. I focus on what's here. We know the work that we need to do and it's my responsibility to convince the club that we really need them. 'Clearly, I'm not doing that job as well as maybe what I can, but I will continue to pursue that because it's something that's really important for us.'
