After Tuesday’s 7-1 Champions League loss to Borussia Dortmund, Celtics manager Brendan Rodgers should exercise caution in his press interviews (October 1).
Former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie, in an exclusive interview with Football Insider, believes that the 51-year-old’s remarks about “not fearing anyone” during their 5-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava played a role in their 7-1 humiliation at the hands of Dortmund.
A first-half hat-trick from Karim Adeyemi, a brace from Serhou Guirassy, plus goals from Emre Can and Felix Nmecha brought the Scottish Champions firmly back to Earth. After losing 7-1 to PSG in 2017–16 and 7–0 to Barcelona in 2016–17, Celtic has now conceded seven goals in Europe’s top club competition for the third time in the last eight seasons.

As long as the Glasgow team continues to rule the domestic scene, Rodgers will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on his unfavorable record of not making it to the Champions League knockout stages while managing Celtic. Home matches against Young Boys of Switzerland and Club Brugge, the dominant teams in Belgium, may be crucial to their goal of making an impression on the continent.
You can’t come out and say stuff like that. Celtic had a great night and you had Bratislava on your side.Do the fans wish to hear that? No. Because they know you’re going to come up against good teams.” Other news: Luis Palma will give up social media to keep his Celtics career alive.
