Reflecting on the Scottish Premiership title race, Rodgers had told the interviewer “the story has already been written about this group, but we will write our own story.”<\/p>\n

Rodgers appeared unhappy with her questioning and said: “No, you know exactly what I mean.”<\/p>\n

When pushed again, Rodgers appeared to end the interview by adding “done, good girl, well done.”<\/p>\n

Campaigners at For Women Scotland responded: “Rodgers owes the reporter an apology.”<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News<\/em> understands the reporter, who has a long career in sports broadcasting, is unfazed by his comment and did not take offence.<\/p>\n

Celtic and the BBC have declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
