“Brendan Rodgers BREAKS Silence: SHOCKING Truth Behind What HURT Him Most in Rangers Defeat
Brendan Rodgers reflected on Celtic’s 3-0 loss to Rangers at Ibrox on January 2nd and its impact on the team in the three matches that followed.
Following their heavy defeat, Celtic has bounced back with three consecutive victories, extending their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 18 points, scoring nine goals and conceding just one. In contrast, Rangers have drawn their two matches since.
When asked if the team’s response had been ideal, Rodgers acknowledged the poor performance at Ibrox. He said: “Aye, aye. We were awful that day. Goodness me, it wasn’t a Celtic team out there. Nowhere near the standard of a Celtic team, looking at the eras of competition we’ve been through. But we know that.”
Rodgers also discussed how the defeat affected him personally when a reporter asked if it hurt him. He responded: “It always does. Losing any game is tough, but especially a Celtic-Rangers game in that manner. But it’s a learning opportunity. We know we can’t be there again. The response has been great, and you can see the commitment from the players.”
Since the Rangers match, Celtic has shown resilience, extending their dominance at the top of the table. Although the defeat at Ibrox remains memorable for the supporters, Celtic’s overall performance this season, with just two losses — the other against Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund — suggests the result against Rangers was an anomaly, and the team has clearly learned from it.
