"He's an unlucky guy, bless him. I think that a striker would've been proud of that goal." Rodgers said.
"He was so unfortunate. I thought he actually done okay at times. He's in a decent enough area, the ball gets whipped in, but there's no real danger. For it to come his leg that far outside of the post and go in the far corner was disappointing, especially after getting back into the game. But sometimes these things happen, and in the main he did okay."The former Liverpool manager was then asked about the reaction from a section of the Celtic supporters when the defender was substituted. Rodgers said he hadn't heard boos or cheers at the time, and defended the Nigerian international. "If it was that I didn't hear it myself, but if it was, it wasn't nice," the Northern Irishman said.
"Whatever his faults are, he's a real good guy who gives his all for the club. He devotes his life to Celtic, he prepares well, he trains well, he doesn't cheat. He trains every single day, he's a man who wants to get better. I would like to think the Celtic supporters will support every player that plays, whether that's Efe or anyone else. Once they pull on the green and white jersey, everyone needs that support."An honourable defence of his confidence-shot player from Rodgers, but expect Kolo Toure to replace Ambrose at the first available opportunity.
