Rangers had little chance as Brendan Rodgers strolled the league in his first stint as Celtics manager, all elegance and comfort.
However, this second term is turning out to be far more challenging, and Rangers’ ascent to the top of the table on Sunday solidified that fact.
Chris Sutton was pretty critical of the Celtic boss and how he needed to accept responsibility following the lost points against Kilmarnock.
This time, the subject was brought up on BBC Radio 5 Live Sport, where Robbie Savage, his co-host, questioned and chastised his colleague for his “harsh” remarks.
However, Chris Sutton quickly put an end to any foolishness from the former Wales midfield player by restating his remarks regarding Brendan Rodgers.
In addition, he ensured Robbie Savage knew what it meant to be “last” and the difficulties of playing for a team like Celtic.
On paper, not losing a game since December 16 is viewed favorably by most European teams, and the supporters are supportive.
But as he continued to outline the problems at Parkhead, Chris Sutton attempted to argue to the silent, illiterate Robbie Savage that “you don’t understand Scottish football.”

Brendan Rodgers facing criticism from Celtic
“It’s pretty amazing that you are questioning Brendan Rodgers on TV,” Savage remarked.
Then, Sutton enquired, “What is remarkable?” Savage answered, “You’re interrogating Brendan Rodgers?” You mentioned that he hadn’t improved one player, which is harsh, isn’t it?
“Have you seen Celtic play this season?” Sutton continued. It’s hardly severe, in my opinion. Although dismal, the season is yet salvageable. Celtic, are you up to the challenge?
Then Savage declared: “You quickly changed your mind about Celtic.” You were all over them in the previous year, and now you’re eager to give it to them. I’ve heard on TV that Brendan Rodgers needs to accept accountability. You did, you sad person. You mentioned “bang average.” They led the league until the Rangers triumphed.
In response, Sutton said, “That’s expected. In general, Celtic’s performance levels this season have been incredibly uneven. Miles away from it is the Champions League. The fact that Celtic hasn’t spent their enormous sum of money or signed many players has angered the fan base greatly. My argument was that, with the players at his disposal, Brendan Rodgers ought to be performing better at home right now.
“But they were top of the league until Rangers won,” Savage cut him off, and Sutton responded, “They have been papering over the cracks with their performances.” It seems like you don’t really get Scottish football. Last is second. In Glasgow, you can’t be running late.
The title must be delivered by Brendan Rodgers.
That is all there is to it. Should he fail to do so, he will be extremely fortunate to have a job after the summer.
Indeed, some people may choose to criticize or make noise directed at the Celtic board; after all, they have already experienced the anger of the supporters this season.
However, several of these players only recently won the Treble the previous season, so many will wonder why there has been such a drastic shift in their play.
However, there is still a ton of football tremendous be played, especially the games against the Rangers, until any of that can occur.
