Hugh Keevins asserts that Celtic supporters are reluctant to disclose their most profound apprehensions regarding Brendan Rodgers, as their

reputations are at stake. I am confident that there are Celtic supporters who are uneasy and are hesitant to express their concealed apprehensions regarding Brendan Rodgers’ team’s performance in the Champions League. The nagging suspicion in their innermost subconscious that one night, someone, somewhere, will surpass Celtic by double digits in a mortifying moment that will be remembered in infamy. The inconceivable could have occurred against Borussia Dortmund in Germany, which was seven. Atalanta, the Europa League champions of the previous season, will be the opponent on Wednesday night. Rodgers is responsible for developing a style of play that eliminates the potential for an assault in Bergamo.

The strategy that Steve Clarke devised to salvage a draw from the ruins of a loss to Portugal in the Nations League tie at Hampden last Tuesday. Scotland had not been removing any trees in the competition prior to that contest. The wildflowers were being pushed upwards. Completely unsuccessful. Clarke was executed due to his preference for ensuring that his team did not lose matches, rather than attempting to win them. The final straw for Clarke’s detractors was the capitulation against Hungary in Scotland’s final match of Euro 24 in Germany. Ironically, the manager has been granted a temporary reprieve by being ultra defensive and securing a single point on the Nations League board by stonewalling the opposition. FACTS AND FIGURES are the substance of football. The league title victor is distinguished from the runner-up. The cup that was won by the losing finalist. The individual who avoided being demoted in a dogfight during relegation.
