A man with extensive experience of Parkhead’s defeats has informed Celtic that Feyenoord ought to be able to’make mincemeat of them’.

furious flop Derk Boerrigter believes that when the Dutch team visits Glasgow on Wednesday night in an attempt to condemn the Hoops to a losing Champions League season, Brendan Rodgers will face a storm. After being acquired by Neil Lennon from Ajax in 2013, the Dutchman was as productive in the Scottish Premiership as a chocolate teapot. He suffered from constant injuries and scored just once in 26 games over the course of three years. But he’s turned his resentment into a taunt, saying that Arne Slot’s men will crush their rivals in Europe.

Despite Celtic’s likely only draw on the continent, manager Brendan Rodgers isn’t calling the match against the Dutch team a “dead rubber” despite his team’s crushing defeat at the hands of Kilmarnock over the weekend. It’s only going to get worse, Boerrigter thinks, but the’seething’ Celtic Park crowd might have an impact on the evening.

“I don’t think Celtic are doing the best,” he said to Soccer News. Feyenoord should easily defeat them, but Celtic has an excellent 12th man at home, which is a drawback. Champions League matches are especially exciting for the crowd. That arena is going to be extremely enraged.

“From minute one to minute ninety, the sixty thousand fans all stand behind their team and cheer. Silencing them would be nice for Feyenoord, but it will not be simple. Although their home crowd is an advantage, Celtic does not have a better selection. Yes, the Scots are honorable enough to sacrifice everything. They are going to. so that Feyenoord may rejoice.”

“The first year I struggled with injuries and the second year a trainer came who was not getting along,” he says, putting the boot in former manager Ronny Deila’s ass. That guy (Deila) was incredibly worthless. It did not fit me to play football the way he wanted me to. He didn’t use me again for the entire year after that. I was free to find another club, but Celtic’s wage demands were too high for me. I was then given the option to leave on a free transfer, but the clubs’ offers did not appeal to me, or the pay gap was too great. The trouble began when I made the decision to stay.

“They began to intimidate me in an attempt to get me to break my contract. Sadly, that’s just a part of football. I’ve always shown my best self, but that was a challenging time. Though I would have preferred to go, the appropriate opportunities did not present themselves. In the end, I broke my own windows. Three years later, I was no longer wanted by any club. After that, it was pleasant, so I changed my activities.

“These are harsh statements, but I do have that feeling,” he said in response to a question regarding Celtic ruining his career. They made me more injured instead of getting me fit. Although I had great expectations when I was recruited, I was never fully fit. I was a member of the Dutch national team and had a good time at Ajax. I then plotted a route similar to that of Virgil van Dijk. Make a lot of plays at Celtic and advance to the Premier League. However, nothing came of it because of those injuries and that trainer.
