Philippe Clement shamelessly blames referees for Rangers’ humiliating defeat against Celtic in derby, sparking controversy and outrage

September 1, 2024

In a dominant display at Celtic Park on Sunday, the team led by Brendan Rodgers once again showcased their superiority in Scottish football by trouncing Rangers 3-0.

The men in green and white exhibited relentless prowess as Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Callum McGregor found the net, leaving the visiting side in disarray.

Celtic’s performance on and off the field underscores their undeniable edge over Rangers. Despite Philippe Clement’s attempts to portray his team as close competitors, the widening gap between the two sides was evident on the pitch.

After the match, Clement offered a series of puzzling statements and excuses on Sky Sports, seeking to explain his team’s shortcomings. Contrary to his claims, there was minimal disparity in the average age of the starting lineups, with Celtic fielding an average age of 27 compared to Rangers’ 26.

Moreover, Clement pointed to the time Celtic’s squad has spent together and the investment in new players as factors contributing to their success. However, these explanations failed to justify the stark contrast in performance witnessed during the match.

Despite Clement’s post-match comments, even seasoned pundit Kris Boyd was left perplexed by the excuses presented, revealing the glaring disparity between Celtic’s dominant display and Rangers’ lackluster performance.
