Celtic once again clinched the Scottish Premiership title with ease, needing only a point against Kilmarnock to secure their 12th crown in 13 seasons. However, the Hoops went above and beyond, thrashing Killie 5-0 at Rugby Park, a venue that had previously caused them trouble.
After defeating Rangers in the Glasgow derby over the weekend, Celtic’s path to victory was all but assured. Brendan Rodgers, who made a surprising return after Ange Postecoglou’s departure, proved his doubters wrong as the team showcased their dominance once more.
Despite early season doubts and chants of ‘sack the board’ from frustrated fans, Celtic’s success and Rodgers’ tactical prowess became increasingly evident with each passing game. Even Celtic superfan Alan Brazil, who had initially questioned the manager, praised Rodgers for turning the season around.
As the season finale approaches and attention shifts to the upcoming final against Rangers at Hampden Park, the pressure is on for both Rodgers and Rangers boss Philippe Clement. With Rodgers’ track record of outsmarting rival managers, Clement faces a daunting challenge to avoid a fate similar to his predecessors.
