The manager deals in reality and knows he would have had a stronger side on the park today
Brendan Rodgers made a big mistake when he berated the Celtic board and chief executive Michael Nicholson last weekend.
Having obviously arrived at the realisation that limited ambition will get you limited achievement, domestically as well as in Europe. When Kyogo Furuhashi damaged his shoulder against Hibs at Easter Road last month Celtic suddenly ended months of trying to turn Adam Idah’s loan move from Norwich City into a permanent transfer – and paid over the odds to get him before there was a backlash.
In other words, failing to do so is a dereliction of duty. The manager held the club to account and suddenly a change of pace was evident inside the recruitment department. Funny that. Today Celtic will play in the first Old Firm game of the season, a fixture that is one quarter of the four most important matches in their league calendar. They will do so with a team that is, following O’Riley’s move to England, weaker than the one that faced Rangers in the Scottish Cup final last May.
