Rodgers said: "I spent some time with Malky last night....He is an outstanding manager and the dignity he has shown has been remarkable."

"This is a cut-throat business and you can lose your job very quickly but it is hard to accept someone losing their job when they have done such a good job.

"The sadness for him (Mackay) is it is nothing to do with that."
