Since the start of April Rodgers has relied on 11 players plus Adam Idah, on Saturday at Hampden many of those players were running on empty- the all went home with winners medals.
As the Celtic striker raced into position he was hit by the double whammy of Ben Davies bundling him over, for insurance purposes Leon Balogun’s right foot swings into the back of Kyogo’s knee forcing the striker into a ‘shot’ that went wide of the post.
On Twitter it appeared that Tanner had an in depth interview with the retiring Celtic goalkeeper, the truth, as the tweet above shows is that he was piggy-backing onto the questions posed by other broadcasters while nursing his wounds, putting on the bravest of professional faces.
At Hampden yesterday the Belgian was at most two players short of his strongest side, there are NO INJURY excuses for yet another failure against Celtic where Brendan Rodgers is getting by on the back of a 13 or 14 man core squad.
When the Beale Revolution! crashed and burned English jumped on board the bandwagon for A Real Football Manager. Yesterday he had to admit defeat on that one as well but took consolation from Clement’s midfield, as ever it will be jam tomorrow for fans of Next Season FC.
Clement saw the move, stepped in and forced Cantwell away from the scene, the latest in a number of humiliations for the D-list celeb and influencer.
All of the players. substitutes and squad members were joined by the members of the backroom staff as they locked arms along the 18 yard line to salute the fans as they sang the emotive You’ll Never Walk Alone anthem.
Rodgers has been more giddy than ever before, to a level tricky to take seriously.
The Ayr United match will be for the non-international players in the squad and is likely to come at the end of the first stage of pre-season work at Lennoxtown.
There was a bit of confusion at the time and Sky Sports explained on air that it was their understanding the 27-year-old had NOT picked up a knock.
