Brendan Rodgers shared a Celtic joke with BBC reporter Jane Lewis after the storm over his "good girl" remark in a previous interview.

The Celtic manager - who had admitted his sadness over the situation - came under fire for his comment to the experienced journalist after the win over Motherwell at the weekend.

After refusing to expand on his comment on the narrative surrounding Celtic this season, Rodgers had said: "Okay, are we done? Good girl, well done, cheers."

Reporter Lewis said no offence was intended by the remarks and insisted none was taken after her interview with Rodgers became a talking point.

"Clearly, the interview on Sunday has become a talking point," she said.

"I don't believe there was any offence meant by Brendan Rodgers - and for my part, there was none taken."

Experienced broadcaster Lewis was back on interview duties with Rodgers at Celtic Park for the match against Dundee with the hosts running out 7-1 winners.

And Rodgers referenced the interview storm in his post-match interview as he shared an on-air joke with the laughing Lewis.

Quizzed on whether he had said anything to spark the thumping victory at Parkhead, Rodgers joked: "It certainly wasn't what I said to you!"

Lewis, who laughed at the light-hearted reference, added: "I think we might leave it there!"

Rodgers had previously said of the situation: "I think you guys, since I have been up here, and any other journalist or reporter, know that I have always based my life on relationships.

"I have always offered a warmth, respect, tried to be courteous and offered time to people. That will never change.

"I  will address it because I’ve obviously been aware of it [recent backlash].

“Sadly for me in society now, we are looking for something to offend or something offensive to try and pin onto people. 

"Obviously when there is that little bit or big bit or whatever it was then I feel I need to address it. 

“I deal in people in life, whether it’s players and people in the media. 

“I’ve spoken to Jane and she wasn’t offended. We had a laugh about it and she will continue to ask me awkward questions I’m sure.

“We have good relations, like I do with most people in my life."
