BRENDAN RODGERS admitted the other day Scottish football’s limited menu can sometimes lead to a lack of stimulation.
It’s probably why he left for Leicester four-and-a-half years ago and it’s precisely the reason he won’t waste any breath trying to convince players to stuff themselves on it for any longer than they have a hunger to remain at Parkhead.
Having tasted what’s on offer elsewhere, Rodgers has reconciled himself with this lack of variety.
Perhaps he has realised the hard way that, for all the repetitive drudgery of this top flight, Celtic offer a whole lot more than can be easily found even in other more salubrious environments.
But this weekend he’ll find himself back in one particular place that seldom failed to stoke the fire inside his stomach.
Sunday brunches at Pittodrie, he’s gorged himself on a few of them down the years.
And more often than not, they beat a full English hands down.
For a while it was his battles there with Derek McInnes that kept Celtic’s appetite satisfied at the top of the table.
And Rodgers is already licking his lips at the prospect of returning to Aberdeen to lock horns with the young novice who has been cooking up a storm since being thrown into the kitchen midway through last season.
