That’s the situation in which Brendan Rodgers and whoever is chosen to bring him down are facing in Glasgow.
What if Ange Postecoglou, currently top of the table with Spurs, wins the English Premier League and Brendan Rodgers fails to win the Premiership? With Celtic already holding a seven-point start over their greatest rivals and nearly a quarter of the season gone. A Rangers team thought by their own fans to be so inferior by comparison that the disillusioned produced a banner during the game against St Mirren last Sunday that described the players as being: “Heartless. Passionless. Leaderless”.
Taking a bad situation and making it worse, in other words. The response to that state of affairs brings graphic images to mind. Single trophy. Double jeopardy. That’s the situation in which Rodgers and whoever is chosen to bring him down are in as the domestic season re-emerges after the international break.
Rodgers is already out of the Viaplay Cup. The new man at Ibrox must win that competition in their absence on December 17 – or else his credentials will immediately be called into question. Defeat in the cup, then a loss to Celtic at the end of that month, and he’ll be deemed a total failure by use of the quick–fire justice system known as a knee-jerk reaction.
