The fans have been worried about the slump in Celtic form. The team needs every one of them to move in the right direction at a time when games are getting intense and swift, with Rangers around the corner.
But what will be worrying the fans more is that there seems to be a lack of fight within the team. The performance against Hearts and the capitulation against Kilmarnock when they were a goal up and lost 2-1, has set the alarm bells ringing.
And former Rangers hero, Barry Ferguson, has noticed it as well. In fact, Ferguson has gone one step further and said that he believes there is just one player at Celtic giving his all for the manager.
Ferguson said [The Go Radio Football Show], “I’m as surprised as a lot of people. I never saw it coming. Throughout the season there are surprise results but certainly, the last couple of results have surprised me.
“Now I’ve seen both games and if you look at them the only real guy who looks at he’s wanting to grab the game with the scruff of the neck is Callum McGregor.
“But other people need to take responsibility as well, It can’t just can’t lie with one player.”
Not time to panic at Celtic, yet
In my view, there is no need to panic just yet. Celtic are still top of the league and with three games to go until the New Year, there is every possibility that the lead could stretch.
Yes, I am well aware that Rangers have a game in hand but they are hardly playing top-class football themselves.
Their performances haven’t been great and you can only scrape results for so long until something gives. Their bad run of form will come.
And when Celtic do, Brendan Rodgers will need to capitalise on it because a title race is on and this team had better be up for the fight.
