A FEW weeks ago, I suggested that April could be the cruellest month for Rangers. And so it has proved, in the cinch Premiership at least.
In many ways, Celtic’s encounter at Hampden the day before was an illustration of their entire campaign, and one which should send shudders down the Parkhead faithful’s spines even when they consider the commanding position their team currently holds. Then it all happened again during the additional 30 minutes. After the inspired Forrest released Alistair Johnston on the right flank, the full-back cut the ball back to Matt O’Riley inside the penalty area and the midfielder, as he has done so often this season, produced a composed finish to send the majority of the 50,000 inside the national stadium into raptures. Celtic had got over the line. Better late than never.
In their ill-fated Champions League campaign, Celtic dropped points from positions of strength on two occasions which could have altered their fortunes in Group E significantly. Against Lazio at Celtic Park back in October, Rodgers' side thought they had snatched a rare group-stage victory when Luis Palma scored to make it 2-1 with minutes to go, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside after a VAR review.
