Celtic put on a masterclass in their Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Aberdeen, showcasing their dominance and skill on the field. The match was not only a display of Celtic’s prowess but also saw a bit of banter from their commentary team towards their rival’s manager.
The game took an interesting turn when Nicolas Kuhn scored his fifth goal for Celtic, leading to a VAR check to determine if there was any offside in the build-up to the goal. The decision eventually went in Celtic’s favor, with the goal standing and no infringement being detected. This decision brought to mind a recent controversial call that had gone against Rangers, adding a layer of irony to the situation.
Philippe Clement had previously made a comment about a close offside decision in a match against Aberdeen, stating that Ross McCausland was just “a toenail” away from being onside. In light of Kuhn’s goal being awarded, Celtic TV commentator Peter Grant humorously remarked that there was “a definite toenail” in it, while Gerry McCulloch added, “Those toenails are important.”
Celtic didn’t stop there, with Daizen Maeda scoring their sixth goal of the evening and sealing their victory with a resounding 6-0 win over Aberdeen. Brendan Rodgers’ side cruised their way to the final of the competition, highlighting their strength and determination on the pitch.
Meanwhile, Clement continues to face scrutiny from his own fans as a series of lackluster performances and disappointing results have sparked calls for a managerial change at Ibrox. The pressure is mounting on Clement to turn things around and deliver better results for his team.
