News Report: Celtic ready to announce the dismissal of Brendan Rodgers as rangers top the Scottish Premiership

Keith Jackson has said that finishing second to Rangers in the Scottish Premiership could be a “sackable offence” for

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers.

With a 3-0 victory over St Johnstone on Sunday (18 February), the Gers moved to the top of the division for the first time this season and in 18 months.

That came a day after Celtic lost another point in a 1-1 home draw with Kilmarnock, as their once-insurmountable lead eroded.

Jackson wrote for the Daily Record [19 February]: “Rodgers was correct in stating that both of these teams cannot coexist peacefully within the same city.

“That’s because finishing second in a two-horse race is often a sackable infraction.

And right now, while the majority of Rangers fans are happy simply to be involved in a true title fight, the majority of Celtics fans find the concept nearly intolerable.”

Rangers beat Celtic to become the Scottish Premiership title favourites.
Rangers have finally risen to the top of the Scottish Premiership table after a long wait. And, let’s be honest, not even the most optimistic supporters foresaw this a few months back.

Despite losing at Celtic Park at the end of December, the Gers trailed by nine points.

Despite having games on hand. To reach the summit, a near-perfect run would be required, as well as the hope that Celtic would have a fall in form.

Both of these eventualities transpired, and with three months left in the season, Rangers lead Celtic by two points.

The expression implies that getting there is easy, but remaining there is challenging.

Not on this occasion, as Philippe Clement’s team exhibited remarkable perseverance in narrowing the gap.

That is not to say that fans are already planning victory celebrations in May, but the Light Blues must now accept their place as title favourites.

All is not well at Celtic. If the Rangers finish first, it will mark the end of Rodgers’ second stay.
