Trophies will be dished out shortly and it's about going out and grabbing them.

Rodgers is ready for it and admits he feels something click within himself at this stage of a season.

It's not all gone to plan for Celtic this season. Even Rodgers feels they've been their own worst enemy at times'.

But that's in the past as Rodgers laid out the pivotal period which has now arrived.

The Celtic boss said: "When you arrive at 10 games to go, that is when the fun begins.

 That is when you are into the business side and that is what I am really looking forward to.

"People will always try to dramatise it from a long way out, and the finish line is still quite a way away, but this is the real exciting bit where every single point matters.

"It's such a brilliant challenge and I'm looking forward to it." The juices are certainly flowing within him entering the period as Rodgers admitted: "Totally. It feels different.

"You know it's game on, and you need to bring it on now.

This is the serious part of the season.
