Pat Bonner did not hold back in his critique of Celtic following their crushing loss to Rangers in the Glasgow Derby. The former Celtic hero, now on commentary duty for the BBC, did not sugarcoat his opinions on Brendan Rodgers’ team’s performance.
Rodgers selected his best lineup and fans were eager as Celtic showed intentions to secure a victory at Ibrox. However, the team failed to deliver on the pitch, leaving Bonner fuming as he voiced his disappointment.
Bonner emphasized the lackluster display of Celtic’s midfield, pointing out the absence of intensity and sharpness in their gameplay. He described the match as one of the worst performances he had witnessed from Celtic in a long time.
Despite the defeat, Rodgers used the loss as a learning opportunity for his players, urging them to improve in various aspects of their game. With just three games until their next fixture, Celtic will look to bounce back against St Mirren under Rodgers’ guidance.
Although the defeat was a setback, Celtic remain at the top of the table with a significant lead and are still in contention for a treble. There is no need for panic at Celtic Park, as the team remains focused on their ultimate goal.
