Difference Between Celtic And Rangers Is Simple – Ex-Striker Makes Observation
Former top flight striker Gordon Daziel believes that Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers does not have the same luxury to change his team as Philippe Clement has with Rangers at the moment.
After a long time, Celtic are being forced to look up in the Scottish Premiership table as Rangers are sitting two points clear at the top.
While Rangers have continued to churn out results and performances consistently, Celtic have been looking laboured and pedestrian even when they have won games in recent weeks.
Daziel stressed that the key difference between the two teams just now is the options that the two managers have in their squads.
While Clement has been changing his team, introducing fresh players and shifting styles without compromising on results and performances, Rodgers is being forced to play his best available eleven all the time.
He conceded that the options on the bench for Celtic just do not inspire any confidence while they struggle with injuries to key players.
Daziel said on Clyde 1’s Superscoreboard: “If you look at both sides now, the difference for me is quite simple.
“Clement can go and make four or five changes, freshen it up, change the style, put fresh players in there and they are winning games and still performing.
“You can’t do that with Celtic at the minute.
“Celtic have got to try and play their strongest eleven out on the pitch; Hatate has been a massive loss and Carter-Vickers is a huge loss at the back.
“But Celtic can’t rotate and make four, five or six changes because, without being disrespectful, if you look at the back-up and the bench right now, there is not a lot there that is exciting.”
Rodgers will hope that Celtic’s performances will improve once some of their key players return from injury.
