It’s unclear who was the most emotional between Henrik Larsson and the fans last night but there was magic in the air as everyone realised that it was 20 years since the long good-bye.
Fans and former players knew what they had witnessed, in the VAR era you are very unlikely to get away with it. Even Lundstram knew, there were no dramatics or protests as his yellow card was upgraded. But Miller kept on digging and digging. And more.
At the moment this Celtic team are disjointed and going through the motions and there’s a fair argument to suggest Brendan Rodgers has been going through the motions this season.
A good Rangers team back then, 92 minutes on the clock. It wasn’t the best of games and I ended up chipping Stefan Klos from – it always gets further out – 35 yards in the end to win the game.
Walsh re referees it and thinks it’s clear and obvious… did Walsh see the touch on the ball from Johnston? …mmm
How does finishing bottom of a gentle group serve a squad well? Am I missing something? This season’s Champions League was a wasted opportunity and would have done more harm than good, I suspect.
But Brendan Rodgers has to take responsibility. I can’t think of one player this season at Celtic who he has improved and that’s on the manager.
Idah kept himself detached and focussed, some fans couldn’t bare to watch but the on loan striker stepped up to score his second penalty of the night to deliver three precious points from a fixture that looked to be slipping away.
Two years on from his move to Scotland O’Riley is in absolute top form, Celtic fans know what is likely to come next but that can’t be considered in mid-season as Sutton pointed out as he reacted to the story that broke just before lunchtime today.
So now it’s up to Kuhn to prove him correct. Quite simply, Rodgers has to stand and fall by signings. Every manager does.
