A few Celtic fans joined in with the joke on Twitter

Despite losing late on, Rodgers, who bossed Watford in the 2008/09 season, insisted there were lots of positives to take from the game.He told talkSPORT: It was a disappointing start and a disappointing end but lots of positives in between that.We didnt get off to the best start but worked our way into the game and stayed in the game. Watford have shown theyre a good side in terms of their positioning in the league.I know what its like at Vicarage Road, its a difficult place to come. I thought after half-time we were better and our passing was much cleaner, much faster in our game and that allowed us to sustain our attacks.Once we got the goal we had the momentum in the game and it felt like there was only going to be one winner but unfortunately right at the death we didnt manage the game well enough.Apart from that ten-minute spell after Watfords first goal, I dont think we had too much to defend. Like I said we grew into the game.
