Celtic’s social media team had some fun before tonight’s Premier Sports Cup tie against Falkirk, posting a photo that gave fans a good laugh and put an end to the recent “tie-gate” drama.

The photo showed Brendan Rodgers arriving at Celtic Park in a full suit and tie, just days after his tieless appearance against Aberdeen sparked online chatter.

Some supporters thought there might be more to it, wondering if it hinted at a deeper message from the manager. The club’s post had no caption, but fans quickly got the joke.

Rodgers had already explained the situation during the week. “I’m just warm,” he said, brushing off any talk of problems behind the scenes. He also spoke about how wearing a tie is something he’s always done out of respect, not as a signal to anyone.

Instead of ignoring the talk, the social media team chose to respond with a simple photo. It was a smart move, light-hearted and well-timed without being over the top. Supporters in the comments were quick to praise the post, seeing it as a clever way to shut down the noise.

Tonight’s match sees Celtic rotate the squad with six changes made to the starting eleven. But before the football kicked off, it was the manager’s matchday outfit that had fans smiling.

The club’s digital team has shown time and again that it knows how to speak to supporters. By keeping things simple and sharp, they have built a strong voice online. This latest post is another good example. No words, no fuss, just a well-aimed photo that said everything it needed to.
