The champions were held to a 2-2 draw by Aberdeen at Parkhead as the Dons fought back from two goals down to take a point in a thrilling encounter
Brendan Rodgers admitted 10 minutes of carelessness cost Celtic as Aberdeen blasted back from two goals down to take a point in a sensational top of the table showdown at Parkhead.
“When you drop points, whether it's home or away, but especially at home you're disappointed. So no, we got punished for being careless in that ten minute period. “And obviously in the second one we were careless, we gave it a bit in a really, really poor area. And then they get the goal for two each.
Rodgers had claimed his side were “spooked” by the ferocity of Borussia Dortmund in the 7-1 thrashing in Germany a fortnight ago. And asked if he felt the same happened as the Dons upped the ante in the second half or if it was just a sloppy 10 minutes, the manager said: “I think it's a wee mixture of both.
“I knew it wasn't going to be perfect today, coming on to the back of all the guys travelling all the way around the world and coming back in together, but I would expect us to see that game through. You have to give credit to Aberdeen, they 2-0 down and we were the dominant team in the game.
