Brendan Rodgers tells team not to relax after new record
Brendan Rodgers has urged his players not to rest on what he insists are richly deserved laurels after they broke the Lisbon Lions' 50-year-old record for remaining unbeaten in domestic matches from the start of a season.
The Scottish champions swatted Hearts aside 4-0 to extend their sequence to 27 matches, eclipsing the mark set by Jock Stein’s all-conquering side in 1966-67.
It was a miserable afternoon for Hearts head coach Ian Cathro, who also saw defender John Souttar carried off on a stretcher with a suspected snapped Achilles tendon which is likely to end the player’s season.
