Mario Balotelli has responded to Brendan Rodgers after the Celtic manager joked that the Italian was the best player he's ever coached.

The Hoops boss was asked by a supporter at the club's Player of the Year awards ceremony on Sunday who the best player he's ever worked with is.

The pair spent just a year together at Anfield before Balotelli was shipped out on loan and Rodgers was eventually sacked by the club.

Since making the move to Ligue Un club OGC Nice, Balotelli has rediscovered his finest form, scoring 16 goals in 26 appearances.
