Robbie Fowler Hits Back at ‘Tedious’ Celtic Claim

Former Liverpool, Leeds, and Manchester City striker Robbie Fowler has hit back at claims that this could be the most tedious treble of all time for Celtic.

With some looking to downplay a potential treble for Celtic, just the ninth in the Hoops’ history, Celtic’s success in recent years has led to some questioning the strength of their recent achievements.

However, Fowler, who is no stranger to success in his career having won the UEFA Cup in 2001, hit back in style in a rare defence from the Englishman.

A spot-on analysis from Fowler: Celtic can only beat whoever is in front of them. It is not the Hoops’ fault that the competition in Scotland is failing to stop consistent trebles.

There is no support in the English Premier League coming around the corner anytime soon, and whether the Celtic support would welcome this remains to be seen. But Celtic’s success has led some to attempt to downplay their achievements instead of celebrating them.

Celtic continue to go from strength to strength, reaching the Champions League knockout playoffs and with the chance to secure a domestic treble.

It has been a season to remember, but having suffered four league defeats this season, the most since the 2020/21 campaign, Celtic have had moments where the opposition in Scotland have caused them problems—something which makes the ‘tedious treble’ comments laughable.
