Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has faced significant backlash after making a 'good girl' comment to a female BBC journalist during a post-match interview following Celtic's 3-1 victory over Motherwell. The incident, which occurred at Fir Park, has led to widespread accusations of casual sexism, prompting calls from various quarters, including women's groups and media outlets, for Rodgers to issue an apology. Despite the controversy, the BBC reporter involved has reportedly not been fazed by Rodgers' comments, and some figures, such as Eamonn Holmes, have defended the Celtic boss. Rodgers himself has expressed sadness over the reaction to his comment, indicating that it was not meant to offend and that he and the journalist had laughed about it afterward.
