Rodgers was 24 out of 24 cup matches as celtic boss but expects his perfect record to be severely tested at Kilmarnock.
Brendan Rodgers wasn’t just Invincible in one domestic campaign during his first trophy-laden spell in Scotland.
Rodgers agrees with his opposite number and he said: “It will be a very difficult game. Obviously Kilmarnock, as you saw against Rangers, are very hard to beat and that’s Derek’s teams. To be fair, they are always very competitive – some of the best organised in the country. “But that’s the nature of cup football – that you can be drawn anywhere and you have to be ready for the challenge. We’re in the competition to try to win it and in order to do that you have to beat good teams.”
He said: “You can tell straight away in training – he’s a good communicator, he talks well with his team-mates. He’s got a real nice personality. I’m pleased to get him in, he’s a young player who’s still got a lot of improvement to make but this is a really good next step for him.
