Rangers and Celtic competed in the inaugural Glasgow Derby of the season, which concluded in a tedious draw at Ibrox.
Brendan Rodgers’ six-point advantage at the summit of the Scottish Premiership table remains unaffected by Celtic’s draw with Rangers.
In reality, Celtic’s performance against a Rangers team that has been routinely conceding goals this season was exceedingly disappointing, as they were unable to score.
However, that is not the sole failure of the Bhoys following Celtic’s achievement of an unprecedented feat against Rangers in 2018.
Additionally, it is detrimental to the Parkhead club’s reputation.
Celtic did not register a single attempt on target during the initial 45 minutes of the draw with Rangers.
Celtic failed to pose a threat to Rangers’ goal in the opening 45 minutes of the Glasgow Derby, a feat that had not been achieved in seven years.
Celtic, despite their efforts, were unable to approach Jack Butland’s goal in order to attempt to demolish it.
Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Daizen Maeda, and Benjamin Nygren, Celtic’s attacking front three, were unable to generate any noteworthy contributions as they encountered difficulty in approaching the Rangers goal.
The first half was peculiar, as it promised at least some goal-mouth action, given that the fragile Ibrox defense has permitted Jack Butland to retrieve the ball from the back of Rangers’ goal on 16 separate occasions this month.
Celtic’s subsequent match following the international hiatus
The Celtic supporters are now facing the infamous international break, and many will be eagerly anticipating the return of the Hoops to action.
With only one day remaining in the transfer window, Celtic supporters will be anticipating the arrival of a few new players in time for the Bhoys’ upcoming match.
Celtic are confronted with a challenging away journey to Kilmarnock, who are currently in fourth place in the league after having opened the season with four draws.
The Hoops support will endure a lengthy season if Brendan Rodgers’ front three continue to perform poorly, as they did during the initial 45 minutes of the match against Rangers.
