The Parkhead boss is facing an SFA charge following comments made about the performance of the VAR against Hearts.
Brendan Rodgers admits he’s not sorry for calling out John Beaton - but insists it was not part of some simmering personal feud with the under fire official.
But Rodgers insists he doesn’t view Beaton as Celtic’s bogeyman. He said: “That shouldn’t be the case and I’m not saying that - I’m talking about one game here. I’m talking about the game at the weekend. I’m not talking about legacy issues or any other games. “My point was more that it was someone of that experience who looked at it. John’s been around for a while now - he’s refereed big games. So I wasn’t calling John out for his name to be out there.
“He gets a bit of stick, Willie Collum. But do you know what? He ran over, he looked at the screen and he went, ‘No, no, no - it’s not!’. It didn’t look like a sending off in the game but there was obviously a shout for him to have a look at it. But he ran over, he used his experience and said, ‘No, no. I get what you’re saying but it’s not a sending off,’.”
