THE annual Groundhog Day celebrations made famous by the 1993 Bill Murray movie will be held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, tomorrow. But Celtic have, just like Murray in the romantic comedy, been reliving the same nightmarish 24 hours over and over again for many, many months now. And it has been no laughing matter. The defeat they suffered to St Mirren on Saturday – their first to the Paisley club at Parkhead in nearly 31 years – followed an all-too-familiar script. The reigning Scottish champions failed to perform at an acceptable level in any department, conceded a goal as a result of some slapstick defending by Shane Duffy and slumped to an ignominious loss.
BEING appointed Celtic manager at the end of the 2015/16 season proved no impediment to Brendan Rodgers enjoying a hugely successful debut campaign at Parkhead. The Northern Irishman signed well by bringing in Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair, qualified for the Champions League group stages and then went undefeated in the League Cup, Premiership and Scottish Cup. So if the quadruple treble winners do, as has been suggested, intend to retain the services of Neil Lennon and then bring in a replacement for hm during the summer, his successor could conceivably go on and do well both at home and abroad next term.
