Breaking News:Brendan Rodgers takes brutal Rangers swipe with comments after Celtic win
Brendan Rodgers took a clear dig at Rangers as he named Falkirk the best side his Celtic team have faced this season.
Celtic recorded a resounding 3-0 victory against the Gers at Parkhead earlier this season and ran out 5-2 winners against Falkirk in the Scottish League Cup on Sunday [22 September].
Rodgers conducted his post-match interview with Premier Sports [22 September] and took a brutal swipe at Rangers by naming Falkirk as the best opposition his side has played.
He said: “Falkirk, I’ve really enjoyed analysing them and watching them because in terms of a football idea and the game, what John’s [McGlynn] doing they’re probably the best team that we’ve played this season in terms of how they want to work the game and how they want to work the ball.”

The gulf in class between the two sides in Glasgow was damning at Parkhead, granted. The finances at Ibrox have not made easier the task of bridging the gap to Celtic and the supporters will hope the reports of the club seeking alternative investment bear fruit and the Gers can find the cash to bring top-quality talent to the side.
