Everything happens for a reason.
And I’ve a lot of time for the old saying that a man always has two reasons for what he does – a good one and the real one. Which brings us directly to Brendan Rodgers’ return to Celtic against the backdrop of undisguised contempt for the idea among the precious and perturbed within the club’s support. Like the one who called me on the radio to maintain that Brendan’s first stint as Celtic manager was “overrated”.
Quite how you find fault with seven trophy wins out of seven, an Invincible season of four draws and no defeats in the league and back-to-back Trebles is a mystery to me, but maybe I’m missing something Even more perplexing was the caller’s assertion that Rangers being in such poor shape when Rodgers arrived in 2016 was a contributory factor regarding his trophy haul.
