Brendan Rodgers is basking in the praise following Celtic’s impressive victory over RB Leipzig, positioning the Hoops boss for success in the Champions League group stage.
Renowned pundits like Chris Sutton, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards have all lauded Celtic’s performance, with fans celebrating Daizen Maeda’s standout play against Leipzig.
Despite the public outpouring of positivity, whispers behind the scenes reveal that experts like Jim White and Simon Jordan are also applauding Celtic’s achievement. Off-air discussions at talkSPORT highlight the significance of the victory and the resilience shown by Rodgers and his team.
Jordan, who has previously criticized Celtic, now acknowledges the team’s potential for advancement in the competition. With upcoming matches against Club Brugge and Young Boys, Celtic’s future in the Champions League looks promising.
While few expect Celtic to ultimately win the tournament, their strong performances at home could make them a formidable opponent for any visiting team. The fate of Slovan Bratislava and RB Leipzig serves as a warning to future challengers at Celtic Park.
