The possibility of an SFA charge against Brendan Rodgers for his remarks regarding John Beaton’s VAR display at Hearts might be a major blow to his chances of winning the forthcoming Glasgow Derby.
The Celtic manager will not be allowed to watch the Glasgow Derby on April 7 from the dugout at Ibrox if he violates the SFA and is punished by the national organization.
“This is not a pressing matter; rather, the goal is to improve teams’ equity. This is done so that Celtic will have X days from the date of the charge to turn in the supporting documentation.
“After then, the compliance officer has X days to handle it. After that, they set March 28th as the date for the hearing.
“And that might actually result in Brendan Rodgers missing the Rangers game in the dugout.”
It will be devastating to go to Govan without Rodgers in the dugout if he is proven guilty. Rodgers has demonstrated that he is well-versed in making critical decisions at Ibrox and knows exactly how to achieve the desired outcome.
That was evident during his first stint as manager, and we saw it ourselves during this season’s 1-0 Glasgow Derby victory in Govan.
However, I have no doubt that the Hoops coach will have his Celtic team ready and assured of winning whether or not he is in the Ibrox dugout.
