The Scottish champions were frustrated by the Premiership strugglers in Glasgow's east end this afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers has issued his response to the jeers his Celtic team received after today's goalless draw against St Johnstone.As expected, Celtic dominated the game and created numerous opportunities to score, but they failed to take one.
Saints take a point back up the road to Perth as the Hoops dropped points on home soil ahead of next week's derby against Rangers.As the players and Rodgers lapped the park at full time this afternoon, the Green Brigade directed a 'good deal of anger' towards them.And it's something that Rodgers"totally understands" their frustration.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound, he said:"I totally understand it. When you play to that performance level and get a result at home against any team, you're playing a team with the greatest respect that haven't won many games and has conceded goals, to not score or get three points is clearly not what we want or the supporters expect.
"You play or manage a club like this here you have to have that personality to gain results. If not the flak will come your way and you have to take that and work to make it better. It's early in the season but there's lots of work to do."Asked if his team deserved all three points, he added:"No, I don't think so.
"We had chances but we have to show that imagination and quality to penetrate and sadly we weren't able to do that."
