Honest Brendan Rodgers has admitted he must “sort out” the levels of Celtic performances as he responded to fan fury at the final whistle following the daw with Aberdeen.
After a lackluster performance through the Dons in the first half, they came out strong in the second half when star Bojan Miovski spotted Maik Nawrocki in the back corner. The game would come to life, with both sides squandering golden opportunities, but new signings. Nicolas Kuhn would score his first goal for Celtic to mark the clash for the Scottish Premiership.
The Hoops have a six-point lead heading into the Rangers’ kick-off against Livingston, and Philippe Clement’s side also have a game in hand. And the loss of away issues comes amid fan anger over the lack of moving deals in January, with Kuhn and rookie Adam Idah being the only two additions in the winter window.
An organisation of Celtic ultras protested against the board before kick-off, while chants were also heard calling for Peter Lawwell to leave the club. They were asked about the reaction of the fans, with audible chants of “fire the board” heard after the plenary. Rodgers told Sky Sports: “There are still a lot of games to play. We want to solve the challenge on the ground.
“That’s the reality. It’s my job as a coach to make sure we’re reaching the levels we want on a consistent basis. We did a smart run all the way to half-time and the comeback and the cup performance, which you’d expect: ‘Good. But the last two performances haven’t been at the point we wanted, but that’s up to us.
