Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has been praised for fending off stewards who had tackled a young fan to the floor at full-time after Celtic\u2019s 3-0 SPFL win at Livingston.<\/p>\n

Rodgers came to the aid of a young boy who had ran onto the pitch at full-time before he was apprehended by stewards and grounded. The former Liverpool boss ran over to the child before calmly taking control of the situation.<\/p>\n

The Celtic boss, who\u2019s in his second spell in charge of the club, put an arm around the youngster before leading him back to the stands where he received great applause from Celtic fans behind the goal. The young lad clapped and held his arms out to the Bhoys faithful behind the goal before Rodgers made sure he climbed back over the advertising boards.<\/p>\n

Fans reacted on social media, with one fan on twitter saying: \u201cBrendan having none of it,\u201d whilst a second said: \u201cThe Gaffer done well there stewards raging lol.\u201d Fans also joked that the incident was set up by Rodgers in order to get the fans back onside after he left to bitterness from Celtic supporters back in 2019.<\/p>\n

One said: \u201cBR has set that up, got to love the politics he\u2019s playing to get the fans back on board, my gaffer,\u201d a second commented: "The wee guy will be a paid actor. All hail Brendan, the director,\u201d with a third adding: \u201cOnce bitten twice shy\u2026f*** it\u2026I\u2019m an easy ride. I\u2019m all in again!"<\/p>\n

Do you think Brendan Rodgers was right to intervene? Let us know in the comments section.<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But reaction was split, with some fans feeling that Rodgers shouldn\u2019t have intervened in what could spark a trend amongst kids entering the pitch knowing they could well be saved by their heroes.<\/p>\n

A comment said: \u201cTotally wrong to do this imo kids should be nowhere near the pitch and this will only encourage them to start trying it again.\u201d While a second added: \u201cWith the greatest of respect, the boy shouldn\u2019t have been on the pitch at all, and whoever he\u2019s with is an irresponsible clown."<\/p>\n

Reo Hatate\u2019s first half penalty put 10-man Celtic on the road to victory as former Manchester City stopper Joe Hart was sent off after 28 minutes. Second half goals from Matt O\u2019Riley and Daizen Maeda secured the victory but the full-time scenes dominated Rodgers\u2019 reaction.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the incident in his post-match interview, Rodgers defended the child when asked about him intervening with security and the young lad. He said: "It's a young kid who wants to see his heroes, he shouldn't be punished or prosecuted for that"<\/p>\n
