Brendan with a point to prove

196
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Chris Sutton was a deadly serious football player but he never takes himself too seriously as a punter.  This is easy for you and I to understand, when we hear him throw a controversial view around, but if you are Brendan Rodgers and you hear a former fans favourite suggest he was “going through the motions” as Celtic manager, it’s going to sting.

The manager looks to have used this as fuel as he told the assembled media, “From a personal perspective, I am surprised in a way where I heard somebody saying ‘Brendan Rodgers was going through the motions’ earlier in the season.”  Adding, he “had been treated like a novice” since arriving back at Celtic last summer.

You need your manager to keep his emotions under wraps while there is still a job to be done, but I am pleased to see Brendan show some emotion on this subject.  I have never liked the badge kisser, they are all here for professional reasons and Brendan is no different.

He has proven a point in recent week and can do so again on 25 May.  Beating regular losers is only part of the story, though.  If he really wants to teach his critics a lesson, the opportunity will arrive in the third week of September.

    Should’ve been 3-0 to Dundee. They’re battering them.

     

     

    Huns diving at every touch and even the Sportsound commentators telling them to get up! That includes Billy Dodds.

    Was going to say the Dundee left back looks ok and then goes and lets the huns player get in behind him to score. Dundee by far the better team and well deserving of their lead.

    I’ve seen bigger crowds at a reciting of Rosary on the Shankill road than there are in Ibrox tonight.

    can i be the first to say, this regardless of whatever the ibrox result is tonight, if Hertz cannae beat them on saturday it really will call into question their proffesionalism.

    A couple of us thought Dodgson Dundee LB on loan from Burnley might be worth looking at….

    legend of both clubs, on the anniversary of his sad passing in 2008, supporters, players and club officials will join together to remember the much-loved figure of either team.

     

     

    A minute’s applause will take place prior to kick-off at Rugby Park on Wednesday, May 15.

     

     

    Celtic fans will also display a tifo, paying tribute to Burns before the match.

     

     

    This has been agreed between both clubs for their penultimate Scottish Premiership game of the 2023/24 campaign.

     

     

     

     

    Celtic fans group, the Green Brigade, unveiled their plans for the display on social media.

     

     

    The group’s statement on the matter reads: “On the anniversary of the death of Celtic’s greatest son, our current heroes are on the cusp of closing another epic chapter in our magical Celtic story.

     

     

    “Tommy Burns lived for Celtic. Through his immortal example, the fans and team will cross the finish line as one.

    Dundee have gone completely off the boil in the second half. They will be kicking themselves for gifting the huns a goal just before half time
