The quest for seven in a row has done something to the media.
They are losing their minds over it as we creep towards the end of the campaign. Over the last few days, they have levelled up the pressure on Brendan Rodgers and our team, believing they see, in our recent loss of form, the opportunity to turn fans against the side and put them on the defensive.
This is the standard tactic. They have no shame whatsoever.
The pressure is coming from multiple directions, and in multiple ways. But it all amounts to the same; our club is in the crosshairs. Cast doubt on the manager, on the commitment of certain players, sow some dissention in the ranks and the whole Celtic project is under threat.
I knew this day would come; it was inevitable the moment we won the treble last season. They saw an unbroken series of title wins, and no end in sight. They have been waiting for signs that we, that the manager, was vulnerable and now they’ve spotted their moment.
The month so far has been ridiculous.
Don’t expect them to lessen the pressure unless we turn up and deliver big time on Sunday, and perhaps not even then.
This is how they’ve gone about it.
