Lewis was tasked with interviewing the Celtic manager both before and after the game because the broadcaster was not invited to the pre-match briefing on Tuesday.
Everything was expected before the game: the opposition, the team news, and the regular topics were discussed without mentioning the media frenzy that had erupted after Sunday’s interview at Motherwell.
Nothing could go wrong following Celtic’s 7-1 victory; the interviewing environment was ideal and there was enough to be excited about.
The majority of listeners were curious if Lewis and Rodgers would discuss Sunday and its aftermath. They weren’t let down when the Celtics manager elegantly concluded the talk.
Jane Lewis Was that performance finally on the horizon, or did something inspire it? Did you say something during the week to motivate the players for this game?
“It certainly wasn’t what I said to you,” remarked Brendan Rodgers.
The Celtic manager will be busy with pre-match interviews to club media, BBC, and Sky Sports, the same rota following, as well as the all-in media conference open to newspapers, as the media circuit continues on Friday, previewing the trip to Tynecastle, which will be covered by Sky Sports.
