Old Firm: Why has derby tide turned for Brendan Rodgers and Celtic after another defeat by Rangers?
The champions were unable to cope with the injury absence of Captain Callum McGregor and centre-back Auston, just like Ibrox in January, had trouble again and got them into a lot of mistakes.
In fact, Barry Ferguson’s team could have scored more than three they managed in the classic five goals epic situation.
“I think we need to show more personality to catch the ball,” Rodgers told BBC Scotland.
“We made too many mistakes, we were not moving enough, we allowed ourselves to be oppressed. We didn’t play at this speed and quality.
“The performance level is what we need to look at. I don’t think we’ve been in these competitions lately.
“We passed Win the League Cup final, It’s great, but again, performance isn’t our highest level. In Ibrox, we are Beat well We lost today, so we have some thoughts to do. ”
Of course there will be no panic. The Celtics are in their 13th Premier League title in 14 seasons and have the potential to win the sixth treble in nine years.
With such standards, Rodgers, especially on the Derbyman team, also retained Ibrox this season.
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re leading one or 16 points ahead, you have to play with personality, we haven’t done that yet,” the Celtics manager added. “We need to be better than today.”
