THOSE who know him best say that Brendan Rodgers has never been one for late nights.

And as for the demon drink, even as a young coach there was never much danger of him being caught off guard and under the influence.

He does drink, a bit, and according to eyewitness accounts, the Celtic manager sipped away at not one but two while glasses of champagne after the Scottish Cup Final. For him this is the equivalent of drinking the entire carry out.

What Rodgers does is work. All the time. Obsessed might not be too strong a word to describe how he, backed by his coaching staff, operates. He is in at the training ground at first light to plan the day’s training and few are still there when he heads home.

Footballers get bored easily. For a group of people living inside such a luxurious bubble, they actually don’t like a regimented regime, at least when it comes to what happens between the actual matches.

Rodgers knows this. It is why he, Chris Davies, John Kennedy and Stevie Woods have pledged to make sure that training at Lennoxtown is interesting, because interested players tend to be winning ones. Bored ones not so much.

This is the drive, the hunger he so often speaks about. Sure, things have gone well but “a bad time is just around the corner” is his mantra which he’s spoken about so often over the past two years.

Three days after the first treble, he began to worry about complacency. Even before Motherwell were beaten earlier this month, the players were called in and the theme was that standards would not be allowed to drop.

It’s a case not so much of if he knows the club history. It’s more that he’s far more intrigued about making more of his own.

The Celtic manager is not one for looking back when there is so much work to do tomorrow. However, even he, you get the impression, will for a week or so bask in what is history.

Rodgers isn’t a robot, which is why he has enjoyed this success more than the last one. As he said himself, he will probably be long gone when the achievements of these last two seasons genuinely sink in.

But the manager is not immune from allowing himself a feeling or pride and joy at the remarkable job he had done.

“The Scottish Cup final was a special day for everyone,” said Rodgers in an interview which is in today’s Celtic View.

“It will probably take time for me to enjoy it. We’ve got to the end of a really long season and achieved three trophies and created history, so it’s a special feeling.

“It was a great day for Celtic. You think of the whole history of this great football nation, players and managers, and to be the first team to do it back to back is a phenomenal achievement.

“I said to the players beforehand that there aren’t too many days you wake up in your life and you have a chance to create history. We had an opportunity to make it a day in their lives they will remember, along with the supporters, so let’s go and take the opportunity and if we can do that then it will be a really special achievement.

“I grew up with stories of Hampden in the sun and that Saturday it was in sunshine. We had three quarters of the stadium and we’ve given them a number of weeks to really go and celebrate.

“It will go down in history and, for all the people here, this day will stay with the forever.

"My thoughts are with the supporters, the players, all the staff and the board that brought me in a couple of years ago. I'm so happy for them that they can enjoy this.

"It is for the supporters. We can be nothing but inspired by the Celtic support and their commitment to us - wherever we go, they are always there.

"To give them a day like a couple of Saturdays ago and overall a moment in history gives me real satisfaction."

That Celtic were going to make history at Hampden was all-but secured the moment the ball left Callum McGregor's 'weaker' right foot and ended in the top corner of Motherwell's net.

This academy graduate has become some players. Unlike Kieran Tierney, it took a while for him to establish himself. However, Rodgers always knew he had a gem on his hands.

He said: "Callum is a brilliant player and he's just got better and better in the time I've been here with his confidence.

"What he does is he steps up in the big games and gets goals. His right foot strike in the cup final was phenomenal and that set us into a good moment in the game.

"We have played different style and different tactics and Callum is very tactically aware. You only need to tell him something once and he gets it. And he has en eye for goal.

"Callum has come through as a young player into the first-team and in the biggest games, he produces. His job is to score goals, create goals and press the game when he doesn't have the ball and he does all those things to a very high consistency. I'm delighted for him.”
