Brendan Rodgers faces uncertainty over potential suspension following his fiery remarks following Celtic’s defeat to Hearts. The manager’s outspoken criticism of VAR referee John Beaton and other officials has raised concerns about his future in the dugout.
Fraser Wishart, the chief executive of the PFA, acknowledged that while a ban isn’t guaranteed, Rodgers knew the risks of his comments, which crossed the line of acceptable criticism.
Wishart emphasized the importance of respecting referees and the consequences of challenging their competence.
Despite Rodgers’ justified frustration over contentious decisions, Wishart suggested that he may have strategically used the platform to shed light on perceived injustices.
