Rodgers Explains the Tough Reality for Celtic in Their Race for the SPFL Title

In an open conversation with Celtic TV, Brendan Rodgers, who is currently in his second stint as Celtic’s manager, discussed the unforeseen difficulties he has encountered since rejoining the giants of Scotland. Despite his

prosperous prior stint, Rodgers said that the variety of issues that have emerged this season has surprised him, indicating a notable departure from his first encounter with the team.

Yes, it has taken me aback, possibly as a result of my initial reactions to this place. “I believe there has been a slight change in the atmosphere,” Rodgers said, alluding to a change in the dynamics since his last tenure at Celtic Park.

High expectations were raised for the Irish manager’s comeback because of his remarkable European nights and domestic domination during his first spell at the club.

The team’s chronic injury problems, which keep Rodgers from regularly starting his best lineup, are the main source of his dissatisfaction. He admitted, “The inability to field the strongest team has just been the biggest source of frustration.”

This continuous battle has been difficult for Celtic, who want to succeed and amuse their fans. “We want to entertain the supporters, which is why we play for them,” Rodgers said. “It’s just felt, from the very beginning, you want to

have your best players available and be able to put them on the pitch in order to showcase the best possible football you can play.”

Despite these disappointments, Rodgers maintains his optimism, seeing the difficulties of this season as fleeting. With a glimmer of hope, he said, “But I know that will change and it’s maybe just been one of those seasons.”

Celtic, who are now trailing in the Scottish Premiership by just two points, still have control over their own fate. To increase their prospects of keeping the SPFL crown, the emphasis is on overcoming fitness obstacles.

It is a good news that Celtic’s best defender, Cameron Carter-Vickers, is expected to return against St Johnstone on Saturday. But Callum McGregor’s absence as captain and Reo Hatate’s restricted availability during the season

highlight just how difficult Celtic’s circumstances are.
