Hugh Keevins observes that the Celtic element with short tempers condemns him; however, there is a

vicious irony in The Unforgiven. Brendan Rodgers is not deserving of certain Celtic supporters. And they will only comprehend the truth of this statement when he is absent and they experience a sensation of loss that is akin to bereavement. Brendan is still condemned to be The Unforgiven by his detractors, despite the fact that he traveled to Italy for the Champions League on Wednesday night and secured a valuable point against Atalanta, the Europa League champions from the previous season. I received a call from a listener who was a representative of the supporter element with short tempers and long recollections after Celtic was dismembered by Borussia Dortmund by seven goals. He made the customary allusion to the manager’s departure from Celtic for Leicester City, and he then suggested that Celtic should “Change him” if Brendan was unable to adjust his tactics to suit various situations.

According to the superintendent, it was all part of a “Assault on the spirit.” Brendan then ventured to speak out against the anti-social elements who are bringing the club closer to severe disciplinary action from UEFA due to the use of pyrotechnics at European matches. Social media was ablaze with recrimination. Brendan had stated that the dissident supporters’ lack of concern for Celtic would be demonstrated by their refusal to adhere to the club’s directives regarding flares. The general tone of the complaints made against him was that supporters would not accept lessons on devotion for the club from an individual who had previously left Celtic in mid-season to pursue employment elsewhere. Swapping positions and transferring to a larger organization with higher salaries, as you and I may be aware. Brendan was initially met with hostile behavior upon his return to Celtic in the wake of Ange Postecoglou’s decision to switch positions and relocate to a larger organization in pursuit of higher wages. At the time, I stated in this space that Rodgers’ initial media briefing was not so much a press conference as it was an interview conducted under the guise of caution while he was in custody. Everything he said was recorded and would be used as evidence against him at a later time. One league and cup double later, certain individuals continue to discuss Leicester City whenever the slightest misfortune occurs. The irony is that it is the supporters, not Rodgers, who are required to develop a pragmatic mindset. The seven goals conceded in Dortmund were indicative of a performance that was significantly below par. However, even the most accomplished individuals must occasionally endure the adversities that come with success. I was fortunate enough to grab a seat and witness Real Madrid’s extraordinary victory over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening. The game was a dazzling spectacle, featuring seven exceptional goals and exceptional individual performances from a diverse group of performers. Because we are only capable of a variant of the game they play, no Scottish team could have coexisted with either of them. We have a domestic game that draws large audiences and generates both interest and controversy. However, when the Premiership enters Europe, the standards are more stringent, and we are occasionally left vulnerable. No humiliation is associated with this, as it is fundamentally the essence of a pecking order. However, Dortmund was able to concede five goals away from home in the midst of the extravagant entertainment in Spain last midweek. It is the Champions League.
