BRENDAN RODGERS was asked about Sunday’s title clincher that the SPFL were trying to avoid by penciling it in for the second game of the split.
Just under a month ago the SPFL dragged their feet over the post-split fixtures. With Celtic in a position to clinch the title on the first game after the split, they chose not to put the Glasgow Derby in that spot – which was the original plan.
Instead, they put both Glasgow sides up against Edinburgh opposition and Brendan Rodgers wonders how much thought actually went into the whole scenario.
“It clearly wasn’t overly thought out,” Rodgers said
“They sent us to probably the most in-form team away at Hibs, so it clearly wasn’t that thought out”
“The way it works up here, is the last five games are always going to be hard games”
“It’s how it’s set up, we have to accept that”
Brendan Rodgers seems focussed for Sunday where he can clinch the title in front of a raucous Celtic support.
