This week, Celtic and Rangers both experienced disappointing results in Europe.
Celtic’s failure to advance to the Champions League was a cause for great disappointment, as Brendan Rodgers’ team was defeated by Kairat Almaty.
Rangers were humiliated by Club Brugge, as the Ibrox club suffered a 9-1 aggregate loss in Belgium.
Ally McCoist and TNT Sports commentator Rory Hamilton appeared to assign responsibility for Rangers’ failure last night to parties other than the Parkhead board and their recruitment, despite the fact that Celtic supporters are directing their fury at them.
Additionally, the discourse is entirely peculiar.
Rangers’ humiliation against Club Brugge is attributed to the Celtic rivalry by Ally McCoist.
At one juncture in the game last night, McCoist and Hamilton abruptly ceased discussing the football.
McCoist could not be held accountable. It is unsurprising that he ceased commentating when he was 6-0 down with only 30 minutes remaining in the game.
Nevertheless, McCoist and Hamilton both resolved to engage in a dialogue in an effort to elucidate Rangers’ humiliation, a decision that will undoubtedly elicit laughs from a significant number of Celtic supporters.
Hamilton stated during his commentary on TNT Sports, “Does this stem from the management of the clubs, the mentality, or are we ensnared in this goldfish bowl where the first one to arrive is the only one that matters?”
Certainly, I believe that is a significant component of the matter,” McCoist responded. The Old Firm fixture is a fantastic fixture, one of the greatest games, and the atmosphere is wonderful.
“However, you may be wondering whether it impedes the game’s advancement in this country.”
Hamilton: “That is where I am truly perplexed, as it appears that the individual who finishes in second place is required to terminate their manager and commence anew.”
“Everything is perceived as positive in this environment, and advancements appear to be scarce for the individual who emerges victorious.”
Are McCoist and Hamilton unaware of the topics that Celtic fans are discussing?
The Parkhead faithful have directed their criticism toward themselves since Celtic’s elimination from the Champions League.
The Celtic board was directly responsible for the incident. No one else. not Rangers, not the SFA, and certainly not the nature of the “Glasgow goldfish bowl.”
Was the goldfish basin ever mentioned when Rangers reached the final of the Europa League or when Celtic came within a minute of forcing Bayern Munich to extra time in the Champions League last season?
Absolutely not. The council is responsible for Celtic’s shortcomings. Additionally, Brendan Rodgers to a certain extent. The club’s inability to progress is due to the assertion that Rangers’ humiliating defeat to Brugge is partially attributable to Celtic’s domestic success.
