Brendan Rodgers is truly proving his critics wrong with Celtic’s recent performances in the Champions League. They showcased their potential by outclassing RB Leipzig in a stunning match, marking one of their best displays in European competition. This victory is even more remarkable considering the dark shadow cast by their previous 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, which was deemed one of the worst performances under Rodgers’ leadership.
The reaction from the players has been exceptional, with top-notch performances on the field. Nicolas Kuhn, in particular, stole the show against his former club, scoring two goals and claiming the Man of the Match accolade. Despite this, Barry Ferguson believes that Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate were the true standout players of the evening, demonstrating their ability to control the game and drive Celtic forward.
As Celtic continue to thrive under Ange Postecoglou, the signings made by the manager have proven to be successful, with players like Hatate shining on the European stage. Ferguson praises Hatate’s skillset and sees his potential to excel at the highest level of competition. Alongside talents like Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic are experiencing a golden era, with Hatate’s recent performance against Leipzig leaving many, including Ferguson, in awe of his capabilities and the fearless approach he brings to the pitch.
