Former Hibernian striker turned Scottish football pundit Tam McManus has spoken out against Celtic and Rangers.

With Celtic and Rangers both winning 2-1 this afternoon against Dundee and St. Mirren, McManus was highly critical of both sides of the Glasgow divide.

Regardless of the scores today what is indisputable is that in my opinion it is the two poorest Celtic & Rangers teams ive seen in a long time. Bang average.

McManus does not give a set year for when to compare this current Celtic side, but to say ‘for a long time’ is questionable, considering that the current side is top of the league table with just four matches remaining and still in contention to win the Scottish Cup.

With Celtic having lost the league title by 25 points in the 2020/21 league season and failing to win a domestic trophy that season, Ange Postecoglou oversaw arguably the biggest rebuild in the club’s history.

While Rodgers took over a treble-winning team from last season, it is fair to say that the Irishman has not hit the heights of last season under Postecoglou, but the current team is nowhere near as poor as the 2020/21 side.

With Rodgers also masterminding Celtic’s first win in the Champions League group stage this season in over a decade, the Hoops were only a win away from European football after Christmas, in yet another sign that this is not the poorest Celtic side in a long time.

McManus appears to be using criticism of Celtic and Rangers as an opportunity to receive media attention and to discuss his name instead of actually providing any sort of real insight into how he feels Celtic or Rangers could improve as a team.
