Part 4/5:
On the other side of the pitch, the defeat served as a wake-up call for Celtic. Prior to this match, the team had displayed solid defensive stats, allowing no more than two shots on target in their last three matches. The complete turnaround against Rangers, where they faced 24 shot attempts, raised concerns regarding their defensive strategies.
Celtic's manager, Brendan Rodgers, reflected on the match, acknowledging that Rangers deserved their victory and attributing the loss to mistakes made by his players. He noted that hasty errors, particularly in the mid-field, invited pressure, leading to pivotal moments that allowed Rangers to capitalize effectively.
