The celebrations of Celtic’s Trophy Day have left a lasting impact on the fans, players, and especially Brendan Rodgers. In his first season back at the club, Rodgers faced immense pressure dealing with media scrutiny, winning over supporters, and handling significant injury setbacks that challenged their defense of the Scottish Premiership title.
Despite these hurdles, Rodgers led Celtic to their third consecutive title, resulting in a joyous celebration after a 3-2 victory over St Mirren at Parkhead. The highlight of the day came when Santa Claus made a surprise appearance to present the trophy, a gesture that brought laughter and nostalgia to the fans.
Jeff Stelling and Ally McCoist discussed the iconic moment on talkSPORT, reflecting on Celtic fans booing Santa during a difficult period and the humor in having him return for the trophy presentation. This lighthearted touch added to the emotional atmosphere of the day, with memories of Joe Hart’s poignant send-off and the anticipation of summer transfer plans for the upcoming Champions League campaign.
As Santa heads back to Lapland, the celebrations of Celtic’s Trophy Day will be cherished as a memorable and heartwarming event in Celtic’s recent history, showcasing the club’s unity, resilience, and sense of humor.
