Brendan Rodgers has voiced his frustrations over Celtic’s post-Christmas fixture list, hinting at possible ‘tricks’ at play behind the scenes. [Record Sport]. The Hoops faithful share his sentiment, as the team finds itself on the road once more after Christmas Day.
A journey to Dundee awaits on Boxing Day, followed closely by a highly-anticipated clash with Philippe Clement’s side at Parkhead to round off 2023.
Rodgers, echoing the feelings of many within the Celtic Fanbase, expressed his dismay that the Bhoys are set to travel post-Christmas to Dundee, meaning the bhoys will get very little time with their families. “I just saw that, and honestly, we would have much preferred it to stay as it was. Especially at that time of the year,” he commented.
The Irishman added, “It’s intriguing. If I’m not mistaken, for the last seven years, Celtic have been on the road during this festive period.”
With a jam-packed schedule, including Champions League commitments and domestic challenges, Rodgers and the team have their work cut out for them. However, the underlying sentiment is clear: the Celtic fans feel hard done by, and they’re not afraid to voice it. The question remains, is it a mere coincidence?
A trip to Dundee on Boxing Day is hardly ideal, but you can be assured, Celtic will be there in numbers.
