What Brenden Rogers had to say regarding Celtic’s red card against Motherwell

Kris Boyd addresses Celtic’s rationale following Stuart Kettlewell’s questionable remarks. Kris

Boyd’s assertions are unlikely to garner the support of the majority of Celtic supporters; however, there was an exception following the victory over Motherwell. After the Bhoys secured a well-deserved draw against Atalanta in the Champions League midweek, the champions entered the match with a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm. There were several topics of discussion regarding Celtic’s starting lineup prior to the match, as several crucial players were either injured or on the bench. Captain Callum McGregor was conspicuously absent; however, the team’s substitutes, Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan, made an impression and secured the victory. Furthermore, Celtic sought to ascend to the summit of the Scottish Premiership table subsequent to Aberdeen’s victory over Dundee United on Saturday.

The 3-0 victory over Motherwell by Celtic served as confirmation; however, Stuart Kettlewell’s remarks subsequent to the game were peculiar. Kris Boyd describes Liam Gordon’s red card challenge on Adam Idah as a “disgrace.” Celtic emerged victorious, the points were secured, and the game’s pace was gradually diminishing, as is customary. However, Liam Gordon felt the need to lunge at Adam Idah, and after VAR intervened, he was issued a direct red card for the tackle. Boyd was in no doubt that the challenge was a “disgrace” and was perplexed as to why it took so long to reveal the red, as he stated in an interview with Sky Sports Football (27/10/24 at 5:10 pm). Boyd declared, “That tackle was a disgrace.” “This challenge is unbelievable.” He initiates the attack by lunging, and subsequently captures him. I trust that he is in good health. “The adrenaline and the ability to escape from reality are both present when playing games.” However, that is an unexpected obstacle. Ignore the notion of viewing it at a reduced speed. It is an appalling assault. “He lunges at him in that location.” He is apprehended at that location. The sole of his leg and ankle are visible as they roll in that location. I am uncertain as to why it took so long to remove him from the field. It is an unadulterated shade of red. It is an unexpected obstacle.

Motherwell’s red card against Celtic was the subject of Stuart Kettlewell’s observations. It is understandable that managers may make peculiar remarks in the intensity of the moment or after they have narrowly lost a game. However, Motherwell did not lose the match by a small margin, nor was it indicative of the intensity of the moment. Stuart Kettlewell expressed his belief that the red card was “unbelievably harsh” in an interview with Sky Sports, despite the fact that the game had already concluded when Gordon initiated the challenge. It is quite extraordinary that Boyd is the only individual who is speaking with a sense of reason on behalf of Celtic. If he believes that the match was a complete disaster and a straight red, there are truly no grounds for complaint. “In my opinion, it is exceedingly severe,” stated Kettlewell. “I do.” I believe it is unforgiving. I can comprehend the manner in which it may appear on a static image. The tackle did not involve a significant amount of force. He attempted to secure a toe-ender solely to take the ball. “We all want to seize the opportunity and declare it a red card.” I believe it is impossibly severe.
