Celtic swaggered into Govan yesterday and took three points from an Ibrox side supposedly on the up.
Brendan Rodgers men didn’t even have to be at their scintillating best to win, which rubs further salt in the wounds.
However, If one superstar solidified his place in the hearts of Celtic fans yesterday, there’s only one guy that comes to mind – Pedro Caixinha.
The Rangers* boss’ approach and demeanour over the past few weeks to his job has been rather peculiar, culminating yesterday in what can only be described as car crash tv.
The Portuguese gaffer was so animated and full of anger on the touchline we can only surmise that he’s caught ‘Rangersitus’ and has lost the love for his ‘Celtic Brothers’.
The first viral video comes at the hands, or body, of his own player Josh Windass who wiped his manager out on the touchline. Pedro’s plunge was already going viral before the game was over, but our geeks at CeltsAreHere towers made sure it was given the proper platform it deserves. Here is viral video number one and to paraphrase a Celtic fan yesterday – Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, they whip out the Titanic music!
However, the day was not over; The Rangers* manager would have a go at Celtic Captain Scott Brown who stared down the former Santos Laguna manager with derision as he made his way to the dressing room. The man charged with keeping his team calm and delivering a team talk when the game was at 0-0 had already jumped the shark.
Celtic got a goal early in the second half, make of that what you will.
The second viral video came after the game when the Sky Sports interviewer asked Pedro what had gone on with Scott Brown. The retort hat ensued was a baffling and comical in equal measure, where he seems to suggest Brown should have tried to elbow him and ‘see what happened’ – referring to an incident with Brown and Morales, which there was nothing in.
Again out geeks were on the case and made sure the interview was shared widely among the football community with our own little twist and critique at the end; West Brom midfielder James McClean approved! The video has nearly a quarter of a million views in under 24 hours.
The conclusion?
The man tasked with reviving the new Rangers is finding it tough. He is feeling the heat in Glasgow and is doing anything to keep his fans on side. He can rant, moan and cry all he likes but as a famous North Korean dictator said earlier this week – ‘The dog barks, but the caravan continues’.
Oh Pedro, never change.
