Outrage Erupts as Celtic Fans Demand Action After Explosive Dressing Room Footage Leaks — Nicolas Gerrit Caught Blaming Brendan Rodgers for 1-0 Loss
Celtic Football Club has been thrown into turmoil after a shocking dressing room video leaked online, showing midfielder Nicolas Gerrit in a heated confrontation with manager Brendan Rodgers. The footage, which has gone viral across social media platforms, captures Gerrit aggressively pointing fingers and reportedly blaming Rodgers for the team’s recent 1-0 defeat — a loss that has left fans furious and the squad fractured.
According to reports, Gerrit erupted moments after the final whistle, shouting over teammates and allegedly accusing Rodgers of “tactical incompetence” and poor decision-making. While the audio is muffled, lip readers and sources close to the club suggest Gerrit told Rodgers, “This one’s on you — your tactics lost us the game.”
Rodgers, visibly taken aback in the video, remained composed but reportedly responded with firm words that brought the room to a stunned silence. Not long after, the manager made headlines by vowing never to start Gerrit again, calling him “a complete waste of a shirt and position.”
Fan Backlash Reaches Boiling Point
The leaked footage has ignited fury among the Celtic faithful, who were already frustrated with Gerrit’s underwhelming performances. The player’s decision to confront Rodgers — especially in such a public and disrespectful manner — has only added fuel to the fire.
Supporters flooded social media with calls for the club to terminate Gerrit’s contract or offload him at the first opportunity this summer.
“Disgraceful,” one fan tweeted. “No one disrespects the gaffer like that and stays. Get him out!”
Another added, “Not only has he been poor on the pitch, now he’s a liability off it. Enough is enough.”
Club Response Expected
While no official statement has been released by Celtic at the time of writing, internal disciplinary action is expected. Sources say Gerrit has been left out of first-team training and may face suspension or a fine.
Insiders close to the locker room describe the mood as tense, with players rallying behind Rodgers in the wake of the incident. One senior squad member reportedly said, “He crossed the line. You don’t throw your manager under the bus like that — not in this club.”
Looking Ahead
This latest controversy raises serious questions about Gerrit’s future at Parkhead. With the summer transfer window approaching, fans and pundits alike believe it’s only a matter of time before the midfielder is shown the exit door.
One thing is clear: Nicolas Gerrit’s relationship with Brendan Rodgers — and likely with the Celtic supporters — is beyond repair.
