Brendan Rodgers refused to blame Scott Brown for his red card at Kilmarnock

"I can't blame him," said Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. "It's very hard for Scott or any other player, especially when you score late on.

"We don't get so many late goals now we normally have a comfort in the game but to get a winner like that, so late, you want to go with your team-mates to your supporters so to then get sent-off for it is always harsh.

"I always think it's unfortunate for players. Of course there's the reaction from him going to the crowd. But with it being at the end of the game and the emotion of it I always think it's harsh for a player to get sent off."
