Celtic FC, under the management of Brendan Rodgers, is facing a worrying trend of draws this season. Their recent goalless game against Hibernian at Celtic Park marked another missed opportunity to assert dominance in the Premiership, leaving them second in the table, trailing behind Hearts. This game represents the fifth draw in 11 matches for the Hoops, with four out of these being goalless, including a particularly tense match against arch-rivals Rangers.
The team's struggles to find the back of the net are becoming a significant concern. Throughout these 11 games, they have only managed 17 goals, which is uncharacteristic of a team known for its attacking prowess. Scottish football writer, Stephen McGowan, expressed concerns about the team regressing. The lack of strengthening in key areas during the transfer window, notably the absence of a top-quality centre forward and a right winger, appears to have unbalanced the side.
Despite the stagnation, former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan sees signs of improvement. He noted that the team created more opportunities during the match against Hibernian than in previous encounters. According to Sheridan, a better conversion rate of these chances could drastically change the narrative, potentially turning a 0-0 draw into a convincing 3-0 or 4-0 victory. Such a result could reignite the team's confidence and alter their trajectory for the remainder of the season.
Looking forward, Celtic needs to address their finishing issues and inject some dynamism into their gameplay to climb back to the top of the league table. The fans and players alike hope for a resurgence similar to the first six months of last season, where Celtic showcased some formidable form. Moreover, resolving the unrest behind the scenes could play a pivotal role in steadying the ship.
And to end on a lighter note, here’s a wee joke for the lads: How many Rangers fans does it take to change a light bulb? They don't change it; they just sit around talking about how good the old one was! Here's to hoping Celtic can brighten up their season and not dwell on past glories like some folks!
