Celtic were the victims of their downfall against Kilmarnock on Saturday according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
The Hoops were 1-0 up going into the latter stages. Although Killie didn’t look overly likely to score, there was an inherent fear within the ground that they could and in the dying embers, fate would have it that David Watson made it 1-1.
Two crucial Scottish Premiership points were dropped by The Bhoys. On Sunday, their failure to win proved costly as they moved down to second in the table.
The title appears to be slipping away from the Celts week-by-week. They were on a run of eight wins in nine going into the weekend, but performances hadn’t been great.
Celtic were scraping through a lot of games by the skin of their teeth, and it caught up with them against Killie.
Indeed in the match, gaffer Rodgers thinks his team manufactured their own downfall. CeltsAreHere spoke to the boss post-match on Saturday: “It’s not about ability now or technique or tactics it’s about mentality”, he said.
“We seen it in the second half, even though we weren’t under great pressure, we made it difficult for ourselves, building the game, structurally, it was a simple game really to play through and get through but somehow we found a way to complicate it.”
