Brendan Rodgers hailed for making ‘his best move’ at Celtic in recent weeks, it secured the title

Brendan Rodgers hailed for making ‘his best move’ at Celtic in recent weeks, it secured the title.

Brendan Rodgers, the Celtics’ manager, has had to alter the team’s strategy significantly in his first season back.

In addition to the severe physical issues he faced at the beginning of the season,

Rodgers had to contend with the loss of elite players like Jota, Carl Starfelt, and Liel Abada,

which made his return to Celtic extremely difficult.
However, that wasn’t the only factor that complicated the Hoops manager’s transition to the team.

Rodgers was unimpressed with Celtic’s summer acquisitions,

stating unequivocally that most of the new players weren’t talented enough to play for him.

And it appeared that his attempt to successfully defend the title was in jeopardy

as Rangers were able to narrow Celtic’s comfortable advantage at the top of the league in December due to bad play and results.

Rodgers praised for James Forrest’s Celtic return

After Abada and Jota left, Rodgers made changes to the Celtic wingers,

which demonstrated that the same caliber wasn’t present on the bench.

Pundit Gordon Dalziel felt that Rodgers’ decision to turn to the veteran players,

while Hyunjun Yang struggled and Luis Palma performed inconsistently, was what ultimately secured Celtic’s victory.

“I have to say that James Forrest’s introduction in the last few weeks has been his best move,” Dalziel stated [Open Goal]. His wisest choice.

He simply has James Forrest‘s youthful appearance. Punters, you see, really get on my nerves because, as they get older, they write these players off.

“This man is still in the best shape of his life.

“He has more experience, which is excellent in all walks of life, and he also knows how to finish the job.”
In addition to keeping Celtic’s championship hopes alive,

Forrest’s outstanding performance against Aberdeen guaranteed the Bhoys’ spot in the Scottish Cup final.

With his brilliant displays against Dundee, Hearts, and Rangers to almost secure the title before to Kilmarnock’s victory last Wednesday,

the seasoned winger has mesmerized the Celtic supporters.
And Forrest needs to be among the first names on the Hoops roster on Saturday afternoon if Rodgers hopes to keep the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park.
