The aftermath of Celtic’s defeat in the Glasgow derby lingers on. From Celtic’s disappointing performance to Rangers’ bench celebrations after Hamza Igamane’s winning goal, the match has sparked conversations all around.
There is no denying that Celtic did not deserve to lose against Rangers, marking their first defeat against their rivals on home turf in five years. Peter Grant, who watched the game, expressed his discontent with the actions of Rangers’ dressing room after the match, aside from the Vaclav Cerny incident.
Looking ahead, the upcoming Glasgow derby at Ibrox is bound to be intense. Not only because of Rangers’ victory, but also due to their exuberant celebrations during and after the game. As Brendan Rodgers conducted his post-match interview with Sky Sports, music could be heard blaring from the opposition dressing room, fueling Grant’s frustration.
Despite Celtic’s significant lead in the Premiership table, Grant criticized the lack of professionalism shown by Rangers with their post-match celebrations. He emphasized the importance of always staying focused and showing respect, especially in such highly charged encounters.
The loss should serve as motivation for Celtic to retaliate in the next meeting. By winning the reverse fixture, they can silence their rivals and regain the upper hand. As champions, Celtic should take this setback in stride and use it as fuel to dominate in the upcoming games.
