Brendan Rodgers has reacted to the recent controversy surrounding Rangers fans and club legend Barry Ferguson. The Celtic boss appeared unfazed by the tension brewing at Ibrox, subtly suggesting that the internal unrest is something he anticipated and perhaps even expected. Ferguson, a former Rangers captain, has been at the center of criticism from a section of the Rangers support, sparking debates over his loyalty and recent public comments. Rodgers, known for his composed demeanor, hinted that the situation unfolding at Rangers is a reflection of deeper issues within the club.
Rodgers’ response carried a tone of quiet satisfaction, as he alluded to a long-standing belief that instability at Rangers would eventually surface. He remarked that his “wish” — likely referring to continued turmoil at Celtic’s rivals — is beginning to come true. While Rodgers didn’t directly attack Ferguson or Rangers fans, his comments implied that the disunity is playing into Celtic’s hands.
This development comes at a crucial time in the Scottish Premiership title race, where mind games and off-field narratives often influence momentum. Rodgers’ comments could serve both as a psychological edge and a reminder that, while Celtic remain focused, Rangers are fighting battles both on and off the pitch.
