Pat Bonner expressed strong disapproval towards Celtic defender Greg Taylor following his actions in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers on 25 May.

The BBC pundit criticized Taylor for receiving an unnecessary booking that could have jeopardized his performance for the rest of the game.

At the time when Taylor was cautioned, the score was tied at 0-0, and despite Rangers having a goal disallowed, Adam Idah’s goal secured the victory for Celtic.

Bonner, speaking on BBC Sportsound at 4:36 pm, emphasized the recklessness of Taylor’s actions, labeling them as “stupid” and warning of the consequences of such behavior in a cup final.

With Taylor walking a tightrope for the remainder of the match due to his booking, Rangers were given an opportunity to exploit his vulnerability on the left flank. However, they failed to capitalize on this advantage, highlighting the importance of seizing opportunities in crucial moments.

The incident serves as a lesson in the unpredictable nature of football, where even tactical advantages may not guarantee success. It underscores the need for teams like Rangers to be more clinical in their attacking play to secure victories against tough opponents like Celtic in future encounters.
