Clinton Morrison expressed strong frustration while discussing Rabbi Matondo’s performance in a live interview on Sky Sports following the 3-3 draw between Rangers and Celtic on 7 April.
The former Ireland international was critical of Celtic’s defense for allowing Matondo ample space and time to execute his curling shot into the top corner. Morrison argued that the defenders should have closed him down quicker, emphasizing that the winger should not have been given the opportunity to take the shot, a sentiment echoed by Kris Boyd who praised Matondo’s striking ability.
During a Sky Sports News segment on 13 April, Boyd marveled at Matondo’s exceptional goal-scoring feat, highlighting the winger’s precision in bending the ball into the far corner. Meanwhile, Morrison’s frustration was palpable as he questioned where Matondo found the time to score, particularly in the 110th minute of the game.
Matondo’s late goal proved crucial for Rangers in the SPFL title race, salvaging a valuable point that could impact the championship outcome. The draw prevented Celtic from extending their lead over Rangers, who now have an opportunity to capitalize on their two games in hand.
Despite the intense competition, the title race remains wide open, with both clubs having key matches ahead. As Rangers gear up to face Ross County and Dundee, the battle for the championship takes on added significance. While Rangers hold a slight advantage with games in hand, the unpredictable nature of football means that Celtic still have a chance to clinch the title if they maintain a winning streak until the season’s conclusion.
As the teams navigate the remaining fixtures, the SPFL title race promises to deliver more drama and excitement. Whether Rangers or Celtic emerge victorious, the journey to the championship promises to be a thrilling one for fans and players alike.
