wait Scottish Premier League Titles will have to delay longer, league leaders Celtic After Sunday’s shock defeated St. Johnstone, there was a lack of opportunity to beat that crown.
Visitor wins will ensure a further win over Kilmarnock next week at Parkhead is enough to reach the deal, but it is a rare day off for those who are green and white, and the championship party has now been postponed.
From the closing place, Brendan Rodgers“None of the teams seemed to be in the game, and the host grabbed a well-deserved lead after a brilliant flashing header from centre-back Daniel Balodis.
Often, hoops tend to find a way in such fixtures even when lagging behind, but still with the inspired Andrew Fisher, the old company side couldn’t break down their stubborn rivals, the British apparently shutting James Forrest and Luke McCowan out.
While this isn’t important in the grand scheme, especially the ranger with the title “Competitioner” lost to the Heberans at home, there are some worrying signs among the high-profile stars in the Rodgers ranks.
Celtics perform the worst with St. Johnstone
The Northern Irish decision to hook Jeffrey Schlupp and Nicolas Kuhn at rest shows the frustrating nature of the Celtics, who once again became particularly poor amidst the ongoing troubles of 2025.
The German winger still boasted 32 goals and assistance In all matches in 2024/25, he now competes in seven Premier League matches in the case of the championship election.
In the game against the Saints, the former swift Vienna star was greatly bound in the first half, while at one stage it also produced the willful attempts of Sky Sports commentator Ian Crocker being described as a “terrible” as he cut into his favorite left foot.
It is unfair to suggest that the 25-year-old was the only villain of the day 30 players Daizen Maeda is also very silent after only 19 touches registered in total. Follow Southskolmeanwhile forward Jota completed only one of his six attempts and completed two of his five attempts dribble, but his outstanding performance was far from that.
Elsewhere, meanwhile, the club record signed that Arne Engels failed to gain a foothold in the game before withdrawing after a hours, while returning Auston Trusty had won just seven of his 12 finals and had another tough afternoon.

Celtic stars need to give up now
To be fair, hatred looks like a score-only player Once in his last 11 league gamesthe Japanese organizer waved particularly in front of McDiarmid Park’s goal.
While the 27-year-old does pose a threat to basketball at times, he was simply a waste of himself, firing three shots in total as he searched for an equalizer away.
In fact, the midfielder may have been lucky not to be among the guys replaced by Rodgers in the second half as he lost 20 of his 82 touches, and the hat trouble was particularly naked – losing the ball effectively every four touches.
That unstable performance on the ball did bring four key passes to the short-sized playmaker, although these vacancies were few, as he also failed to try a dribble on a 90-minute outing.
With young Paulo Bernardo now waiting on the wings, it does raise the question why Rodgers continue to have faith in hatred, and this stage of the season is perhaps an ideal opportunity for shuffling and experimenting.
With the aforementioned McCowan replacing Engels at the Park Centre – joining another lively cameo, including his late-stage goal, most likely the Scottish star and Bernardo both go aside next weekend.
As for hatred, if £16,000 per week Star continues to blow hot and cold, and he may find himself borrowed time at Celtic Park, which does lack urgency and athleticism on Sunday afternoons.
It must be said that Kuhn is currently the obvious number, but it can be said that hatred quietly proves even more disappointing in the cabin.
