After Celtics’ victory, Brendan Rodgers bluntly asserts that Rangers

Celtic ended the pre-international break period with a victory, securing a 3-1 win against St Johnstone at Parkhead. Kyogo Furuhashi, reinstated in the starting lineup after a recent spell on the bench, demonstrated his scoring prowess by netting the opening goal. Nicolas Kuhn, who continued to impress, added a second goal, while James Forrest contributed to the scoresheet after coming on as a substitute.

This outcome propels Celtic back to the summit of the Premiership table. However, it remains uncertain if they will maintain this position during the break.

Attention now turns to Dundee FC, who face Rangers at Dens Park tomorrow in a crucial fixture for the Ibrox club, providing them with an opportunity to level the points with Celtic as they currently trail by a single point.

A draw in Dundee would equalize both Glasgow teams’ points and goal difference after 30 matches. Despite Celtic’s struggles in attack this season, they hold a superior head-to-head record and have managed to score more goals than Rangers.

Manager Brendan Rodgers made it clear that he will not be following the Rangers match tomorrow, opting to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day instead. He emphasized that Celtic have fulfilled their duty and will focus on enjoying the occasion.

The outcome of Rangers’ matches holds little significance, as Celtic’s fate remains within their control. Despite trailing in the title race, the two upcoming Glasgow Derbies could be decisive. Nonetheless, Celtic must remain vigilant and avoid dropping points against any opponent, regardless of their position in the league table.
