Brendan Rodgers Takes Aim at Barry Ferguson and Rangers Fans After Crushing 5-2 Victory Over St. Mirren
Brendan Rodgers has sparked controversy with a brutal post-match dig aimed at Barry Ferguson and the entire Rangers fanbase following his side’s dominant 5-2 win over St. Mirren. After the final whistle, Rodgers didn’t hold back, taking a swipe at the struggling Rangers, who had failed to secure a win in their previous outing against St. Mirren.
Rodgers, in his usual confident and sometimes cheeky manner, quipped that “Rangers couldn’t manage to defeat St. Mirren in their last match, but we did them a favor by winning.” His comment, a thinly veiled jab at their rivals’ inability to get the job done, has sent shockwaves through the Scottish football community, sparking intense reactions from fans across the league.
Rodgers’ remarks seemed to be in direct contrast to the recent struggles Rangers have faced, including their disappointing performance against Motherwell and their inability to break down teams like St. Mirren. The Celtic manager’s comment also appeared to target Barry Ferguson, who has been vocal in his criticism of Rangers’ performances in recent weeks. Ferguson, as a former Rangers captain, has played a key role in analyzing the team’s downfall, but Rodgers’ pointed words suggest that he believes the focus should shift from Rangers’ issues to Celtic’s dominance.
The 5-2 victory over St. Mirren was a powerful statement from Celtic, and Rodgers made it clear that his side was not going to be distracted by the turmoil surrounding their rivals. His trolling of Ferguson and the Rangers fans has only added fuel to the fire of a simmering rivalry, with supporters quick to take to social media to share their thoughts on Rodgers’ cutting remarks.
The comment has quickly become a topic of conversation, with many fans divided. Some Celtic supporters have embraced Rodgers’ boldness and find humor in his sharp tongue, while Rangers fans are understandably frustrated and enraged, viewing it as an unnecessary and disrespectful taunt. As always, the fierce rivalry between Celtic and Rangers continues to generate drama both on and off the pitch.
As for Rangers, their inability to defeat St. Mirren in their last encounter and their recent dip in form have now been publicly mocked by Rodgers, intensifying the pressure on the club and its management. With Rangers fans already on edge, the last thing they needed was further taunting from their bitter rivals.
Rodgers’ comments have ensured that the Scottish football spotlight remains firmly on the Old Firm rivalry, with both sets of fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this fierce battle. While Rodgers may have savored this moment of trolling, it remains to be seen whether it will light a fire under Rangers or add fuel to their ongoing struggles.
