Brendan Rodgers has built a Celtic siege mentality and that’s why the Usual Suspects are odds on for the double

The Parkhead manager has expertly managed his Celtic hand, which is why they are the clear favorites to win both games.

It has resembled the iconic sequence from The Usual Suspects.

where Kevin Spacey’s character limps out of the police shot before striking the ideal stride.

Convincing the world that the devil doesn’t exist was the greatest trick he has ever played.

This season with Celtic, Brendan Rodgers seems to have pulled out the old gammy leg trick.

The Hoops manager’s best trick this season has been making everyone believe his club was weak before they won the championship.

It’s been a brilliant move. He even made his team believe they were the underdogs.

This season, Rodgers adopted a full siege mindset at Parkhead, and it was a huge success.

as evidenced by the spike in performance.

The Irishman claimed that he even showed his players a “collage of negativity” from publications last

weekend in an attempt to make people retract their statements. Mind you,

Good heavens knows what was on this item. Over the year, there may have been a mosaic of realism,

but it’s not like the Celts were never dismissed as complete failures.

Clearly, there were difficulties. Punters experienced deja vu from the COVID season.

when everything that could go wrong, did, thanks to the injury list and antics off the field.

However, it didn’t seem like the Celts were dragging fans from the grandstands before the game. They still field a strong international team.

Notwithstanding the challenges, this season put the manager to the test in a completely new way,

and Rodgers completed the task however he saw fit.

And it was all the more remarkable since Celtic Park needed a new trick like this.

During his first tenure, the Hoops were never considered the underdogs.

and they even began this year’s campaign as the defending Treble winners.

Rangers did appear to be in the lead at one time, but mentioning it wasn’t detrimental.

To use as proof, there was an eye test, a form book, and a league table. Rodgers also acknowledged it.

He brought up the response to the August draw with St. Johnstone.

but at the time he claimed that the supporters had every right to jeer and that he was in dire need of fresh acquisitions.

At other times, he was just as critical of any coverage as there was, and things didn’t start to shift until the Ibrox men started getting in trouble.

But Gers completely self-inflicted that light blue disaster.

They withered because of Rodgers and Celtic’s sudden escalation in intensity.

However, this week, the “get it right up, ye” card cannot be pulled out due to its flawless execution.

This weekend, Celtic are overwhelming favorites at Hampden, and at the end of play,

Everyone anticipates Rodgers to be holding the Scottish Cup. Normally, that would be risky. The enemy of a football team is complacency.

Rather, it is likely that Rodgers will experience a sense of familiarity.

This season, he has demonstrated that he is capable of being a headline-grabbing gaffer.

However, he has already demonstrated countless times that he is much more at ease when his confidence is high.

When there is blood in the water, that’s when Rodgers is most dangerous.
