With only four games remaining in the season, Celtic’s victory against Dundee was crucial in maintaining Brendan Rodgers’ three-point lead at the summit of the Scottish Premiership.
James Forrest’s brace stole the limelight, showcasing the veteran winger’s enduring quality for Celtic. Following his recent goal at Hampden and his stellar performance against Dundee, Forrest has proven to be an invaluable asset for the team this season.
Amidst the praises showered upon Forrest, Pat Bonner observed a clever tactic employed by Rodgers during his post-match interview, hinting at an advantage for Celtic in the title race.
This strategic move by Rodgers is not new, as it has been identified in previous matches by experts and former players. By subtly elevating the opposition in his interviews, Rodgers puts pressure on rival teams, leading to beneficial results for Celtic.
Looking ahead, with Rangers facing Kilmarnock and Celtic squaring off against Hearts, the opportunity for the Hoops to extend their lead in the league looms large. The anticipated Glasgow Derby and subsequent match against Dundee will be crucial, with Rodgers’ words potentially playing a role in influencing outcomes in the fierce title race.
