As Brendan Rodgers undertook his media duties ahead of tonight's UEFA Champions League game against Borussia Monchengladbach, he found himself back in the club's Number 7 restaurant.

"This is where it all began," he quipped as he took his seat in front of snappers and reporters, as he surveyed the sight of where he undertook his first meeting with the press when he was announced as Ronny Deila's successor back in June.

"When you win it helps," he smiled. "It’s been brilliant. Everybody talks about the goldfish bowl but I haven’t found that. Maybe my experience at Liverpool has helped me – managing a huge club there – but for me it’s just a dream to be here and to have the responsibility to deliver.

We’re in at 7.15 in the morning and we leave at 6 or 7 in the evening and home, then we’ll be analysing again at home until the late hours.

Lamenting the goldfish bowl of Glasgow has been a frequent lament of those on both sides of the Old Firm divide, but so far there have been no issues for Rodgers.

"Listen, every individual is different," he said. "I tend to focus on my professional life, family and that’s it. When I can take a break from it I will do.

"But socially, the moments I do get out, it has been brilliant. I was saying to Charlotte [his fiancee] the other day, the number of restaurants you have up here is incredible – I never knew the choice. It is incredible. You could eat out somewhere different every night for a whole year."
