The 51-year-old Irishman will defend his impressive personal record when the Hoops meet Aberdeen in the Premier Sports League Cup semi-final tomorrow night at the national stadium.
Rodgers has appeared 11 times at the Mount Florida stadium on Glasgow’s south side, and has emerged uninjured in each match.
The Dons, in fact, interrupted a perfect nine-game parade of consecutive wins when they forced a 3-3 draw after extra-time in a dramatic Scottish Cup last-four confrontation against the holders in April last season.
However, the Parkhead men won the penalty shootout 6-5 to advance to the final match on May 25 against Phillipe Clement’s Ibrox outfit. Adam Idah had the final say on Rodgers’ day of celebration at the famed old pitch.
On October 23, 2016, the commendable series of success began with a 1-0 League Cup semi-final victory over Rangers, who were then managed by Mark Warburton. Moussa Dembele was the match winner.
