CELTIC lifted the League Cup by beating Aberdeen — and partied long into the night.

Within a week, Brendan Rodgers vowed never again.

The Parkhead players were allowed to celebrate their trophy win in 2016 when they beat the Dons 3-0 in the final.

But in their next game Celts were 2-0 down to Motherwell — with Rodgers ruing his decision to let his stars off the leash.

That’s why they’ll need to wait until the January winter break to celebrate if they beat Aberdeen today.

Rodgers said: “We won’t be celebrating too much anyway, we have the game on the Wednesday.

“Is there a party planned? No, if we win, it’ll be quiet.

“The problem we had the last time was we won the League Cup final then we went a week later and were 2-0 down at half-time against Motherwell and had to come back to win 4-3.

"We had celebrated after that cup final so that told me something.

“No, we’ll get a period in January where we can reflect on everything if we need to and enjoy it if we can.

“We’ll go, we want to win, and then we’ve got a game on Wednesday night.

“I think the boys know me well enough now.

“I treat them like adults, they are not kids with me.

“I treat them as men and we know when those little periods are. When you are playing so many games, your body is so important. You have to look after it.

“But let’s get the job done at the weekend and get another trophy.”

Rodgers has revealed he plans to hold signing talks with a January target on Monday.

That’s where his focus will be when he wakes up in the morning, win or lose against Aberdeen at Hampden.

But asked what winning actually means to him, having had so much domestic success at Celtic, Rodgers explained: “It’s what we’ll be judged on at the end of it.

“But that’s never solely been my own measure.

“It has always been about development of players, development of people, and hopefully creating an environment that allows winning.

“My joy comes from seeing everyone else, it really does.

“I love seeing people happy. And I think it is because I very quickly move on to the next experience.

“I ask people to celebrate success, I want them to enjoy it, but I think sometimes when you are the leader you tend to look for the next experience.

“And very quickly, for some reason, that’s my next thought, you know.

“So I know that after the game on Sunday, I’ll be flying out to speak to a player on Monday, so there won’t be any big celebration whatever it is, or not, whatever way it is.

"We have to get to work the next day.”

Some managers exist on the mantra that winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.

But Rodgers added: “Yeah, absolutely. It wouldn’t give me the satisfaction.

“I know from time to time you can win and maybe not play so well. I get that.

“But over the course of time — and I’ve been coaching over 20-odd years now — I take greater joy in seeing football and the level that we play.

“And the consequence of that is winning. But it wouldn’t fulfil me, it just wouldn’t, to just be about winning.

“I recognised that when I first went in to management.

“In my first job, I remember we got a fantastic result against Roberto Martinez’s Swansea. I think they were playing really well at the time, they had beaten Fulham in the FA Cup.

“Then we were playing them in midweek. We won 2-0 at Vicarage, and everyone was on a high after the game — Malky, Dychey, Warbs was there, Frank Lampard senior, all on such a high.

“And I was flat because, yes we won the game, but it wasn’t how I wanted us to win.

“That told me really early on in my career as a manager that it was always going to be more than just winning.

“It got performance of the week, but, nah, I like my teams to win with a certain identity, while knowing that you can’t do it all the time.

“There have been games we have had to dig it out, tough it out, so I get all that.

“I like my teams to play with a certain idea. That’s what drew me to coaching and that for me is what coaching is: that relationship between the training and the game.

"And if you can get that fusion, that’s what makes me happy.”

Celtic are guaranteed to get a tough game against Aberdeen with Derek McInnes someone Rodgers admires in the game.

He added: “I really like him as a guy. I have never been out with him socially but we have spoken after games and we have communicated a lot.

“Obviously from the Liverpool time, I gave him Wardy and I knew how much Danny enjoyed it.

“We speak on the phone and I see his work. He is really professional in his work, you can see he is not someone who is in in the morning and then away at 12.30pm.

“He is diligent, he has a strategy for his club and for his team. No matter the situation they are always very difficult to play against.

“So I have a big admiration for him, I like him. He works very well and develops players also by giving them the right environment and he knows football inside out.”

BR: “It was a very satisfying win for us today. The players showed a lot of heart and a lot of fight.”

BR: “Aberdeen are a very tough team to come in and play because they’re very strong and physical.”

BR: “To show the quality for our goal, which was probably our biggest moment of the first-half, was very pleasing. We had a sequence of passes and worked our way through their man-marking and ended up with a great goal.”

BR on Dedryck Boyata: “It looks like he’s struggling with his hamstring. And we hope that Gary Mackay-Steven is okay. I just saw a replay of the incident after the game and it looked a really bad knock, so hopefully he’s okay.”

BR on
@ryanchristie2
: “Delighted for him. Scoring against the side where he spent 18 months. It was a wonderful run and finish. The keeper made a good save from the first shot but Ryan reacted very well to it and it ended up being the winner.”

BR on his 7th consecutive trophy: “I take great pride and it feels great. My happiness is more for the players and the supporters. It was a very satisfying day for us, and the players, they deserve a huge amount of credit because they’ve been amazing since I’ve come in.”

Cemented himself among the true legends of the club after the double treble. All he’s doing now is building a legacy that will probably never be matched outwith The Lions.

A truly special time to be a Tim and I’m grateful for every second of it so far. Hopefully many more trophies and memories to come
