'This world needs to f*ck off!' - Man Utd legend Paul Scholes appears to post furious reaction to Brendan Rodgers 'dinosaur' label from his bathtub amid sexism storm surrounding Celtic boss

The Hoops boss has come under fire for saying "good girl" to BBC reporter Jane Lewis after his side's late victory over Motherwell on Sunday. Rodgers has been urged to apologise to Lewis by women's organisations in Scotland, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dinosaur-celtic-liverpool-brendan-rodgers-blasted-female-reporter-good-girl/blt33d2d33b89e61266" target="_blank">who have branded the Northern Irishman a "dinosaur" for his remarks</a>. It was that news, presented by talkSPORT, that Scholes appeared to be reacting to while sitting in the bathtub.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Red Devils legend gave a blunt response, seemingly in reference to the Rodgers sexism storm, writing in an Instagram story that has since been deleted: "This world needs to f*ck right off... bye!"<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte727aaeef719792c/Screenshot_2024-02-27_at_15.38.52.png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte727aaeef719792c/Screenshot_2024-02-27_at_15.38.52.png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte727aaeef719792c/Screenshot_2024-02-27_at_15.38.52.png?format=jpg" alt="Scholes Rodgers sexism storm" data-source="IG: paulscholesaaa" data-copyright="IG: paulscholesaaa" data-portal-copyright="IG: paulscholesaaa" perform:prop="uuid:blte727aaeef719792c;width:640;height:1068"></picture>

WHAT SCHOLES POSTED

The incident in question came after Celtic's 3-1 over Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday. That victory took the Hoops to within two points of arch rivals Rangers at the top, although Rodgers strangely claimed that the title race story "has already been written about this group, but we will write our own story”. Lewis then pressed that cryptic answer but was met with a cold "You know exactly what I mean" and a repeated "No, no no", before Rodgers shut down the interview. It is these words that have drawn most ire from women's groups, as the Celtic boss said condescendingly: "Okay, done. Good girl. Well done, cheers.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Both Lewis and Rodgers have since spoken out about the incident, with the BBC reporter quoted on <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCchrismclaug/status/1762474431287382491" target="_blank">X </a>as saying: "Clearly, the interview on Sunday has become a talking point. I don't believe there was any offence meant by Brendan Rodgers - and for my part, there was none taken."Rodgers pointed to a wider problem in society and echoed Lewis' thoughts of no offence being meant, saying on Tuesday (via <a href="https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/12062900/celtic-boss-brendan-rodgers-jane-lewis-bbc-good-girl/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>): "I will address it because I have been obviously aware of it. Sadly for me in society now we are either looking to offend or find something that is offensive to try to pin onto people. I have spoken to Jane, she wasn't offended, we had a laugh about it, she will continue to ask me awkward questions. But I see here every week and we have good relations, like I have with most people in my life, whether that is professional or social."

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

Sunday's comments are unfortunately another example of the efforts still to be done to avoid subtle misogyny in the game, something which Chelsea boss Emma Hayes <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/male-privilege-chelsea-manager-uswnt-boss-emma-hayes-joey-barton/blt3bc6baa580af0e3e" target="_blank">recently highlighted still very much exists</a>. As yet, there is no news of any punishment coming Rodgers' way regarding his comments.
