Brendan Rodgers gets Celtic grief for EMBARRASSING faith in 2 stars as Rangers diehard goes claim busting – Hotline

It was great to see them put everything into that contest with Atletico but it was clear many of the players had little left to give when it came to Saturday’s game at Hibs. Hopefully that’s something Brendan can address in January.”

Denis Bruce, Bishopbriggs, said: “Celtic play both Edinburgh teams away from home in consecutive weeks. Rangers play both Edinburgh
