John Hartson recently voiced his concerns about the current state of affairs at Celtic following their disheartening 2-0 defeat at home to Hearts on X.
Hartson’s remarks were pointed and twofold. Firstly, he suggested that a sense of complacency may have crept into the squad. “The players are coasting,” he said, implying that some members of the team might be resting on their laurels, perhaps overconfident in their abilities and the club’s stature. This attitude, according to Hartson, might lead them to believe they are performing better than they actually are.
Secondly, Hartson touched upon the relationship between the players and the management. He raised the possibility that the players might not be fully committed to the manager’s vision and tactics. “Secondly, the players are not putting everything in for the manager,” he stated. This lack of total commitment and effort could be a significant factor in the team’s recent underperformance.
These comments from a former player, who understands the inner workings and pressures of a club like Celtic, carry weight. They reflect not just the sentiments of a concerned ex-player, but also resonate with the fans who expect high standards and commitment from their team.
Hartson’s theory, focusing on player attitude and commitment, points to deeper issues within the squad that need to be addressed.
