Since he thinks the Scottish media is portraying a perceived crisis at the club, Brendan Rodgers has addressed the narrative surrounding it.
Rogers has expressed concern about the team’s inconsistent play and believes that a more consistent level of play is necessary. He sees the big games—such as the impending derby against the Rangers—as essential opportunities for the team to prove its mettle and possibly quiet detractors. Additionally, Celtic has participated in the major games this season.
“I think if you read or listen to everything in the media you would feel we were in constant crisis mode here,” Brendan Rodgers stated [Glasgow Times].That’s how I feel. However, that is not how I think at all.
Isn’t it just a matter of levels? It seems like just levels. However, I don’t see any differences [from my first visit]. I simply believe that it might be the way that it is publicized and reported. As a team, I think we’re still doing well. We’re going to improve. Hopefully, we can strengthen the team. We’ll see where we end up at the end of the season, as I mentioned.
We’re having another fantastic game. We were coming off a less than stellar performance, in my opinion, going into that final game [at Ibrox]. Despite our strong performance against St Johnstone, we were not successful. We have a positive vibe going in this time.
“In my opinion, the major games always present an opportunity for self-imposition. We haven’t been entirely consistent. We have performed well in games when we have been good. However, we must locate that constancy. These games, in my opinion, speak for themselves. We have the ability to perform at an extremely high level, which will increase our chances of success.
In addition to improving Celtic’s standing in the title fight, a victory over Rangers would also be a reaction to the criticism the team has been receiving lately. On the other hand, a poor outcome might make the criticisms stronger.
