Brendan Rodgers on verge of Celtic sack after what happened v Rangers at Ibrox
Brendan Rodgers could be on the verge of a sack at Celtic after the 3-3 draw against Rangers at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby on 7 April.
Rodgers’ potential vulnerability to being sacked stems from the significant collapse of Celtic’s lead in the title race since Clement’s appointment at Ibrox.
The dramatic 3-3 draw against Gers, despite leading 2-0 at half time and holding a 3-2 advantage until extra time in the second half, epitomises Celtic’s struggles under Rodgers.
This capitulation, coupled with Rangers’ resurgence under Clement, highlights Rodgers’ failure to maintain Celtic’s dominance in the Scottish Premiership.
Rangers now favourites to oust Celtic to the title
With Gers now in a strong position to overtake Celtic, Rodgers faces mounting pressure to deliver results and secure the title.
The fact that Rangers have a game in hand exacerbates the situation, as it underscores the gravity of Celtic’s squandered lead.
Winning the Dundee game will see Rangers returning to the summit and holding a two-point lead over their rivals.
The inability to effectively manage a substantial eight-point cushion before Gers sacked Michael Beale and replaced him and withstand the mounting challenge from their arch rivals reflects poorly on Rodgers’ leadership and tactical acumen.
Consequently, if Celtic fail to regain their footing and ultimately lose the title, Rodgers may find himself facing the consequences of his team’s underperformance, potentially leading to his dismissal.
