Earlier today, Celtic won a point at Ibrox in a match that didn’t significantly harm their chances of winning the Scottish Premiership title.
Ten minutes before halftime, Daizen Maeda’s incredible opening goal and a Matt O’Riley penalty gave Brendan Rodgers’ team a well-earned two-goal advantage.
After Fabio Silva’s controversial penalty was granted, James Tavernier equalized with a deflected shot before Abdallah Sima scored a goal of his own. A brilliant finish from Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah past Jack Butland put the visitors ahead once again. Paulo Bernardo’s astute assist and quick thinking helped with the build-up. Rabbi Matondo saved a point for the home team in stoppage time, therefore the bragging rights will stay unaltered until we learn when Celtic and Rangers will play in the post-split fixtures at Parkhead.
Despite being dissatisfied with the outcome, Rodgers told the media that his players had left their title destiny in their own hands, saying, “We’re disappointed not to win, but to leave here with it all in our hands is what we wanted-for that, I’m really proud.” Based on an instantaneous response, it is difficult to tell how to feel about today’s outcome, even though the point we scored might prove to be significant at the end of the season.
According to Cameron Carter-Vickers, Celtic is still in a good mood. Playing the entire game at Ibrox, Cameron Carter-Vickers will surely be upset that Celtic failed to see three points beyond the goal line.
However, the American international has disclosed that there is a strong internal belief in the locker room that the Bhoys still have a chance to achieve their goals this season.”From our point of view, nothing has changed,” he said in a live statement on Sky Sports. “I think even if we won that game today, we would have probably still had to win our next six or seven games to do what we want to do this season.” Strangely enough, despite a furious match that sees Celtic leading the table by just one point, everything is essentially unchanged in the Scottish Premiership title battle.
Looking ahead, St Mirren was waiting for us at Parkhead, where, at the very least, we could win and stay at the top.
