Celtic Back to normality

- Kevin Graham

We have answered the questions posed by defeat emphatical­ly. While not obtaining total dominance in the three games since, we have had spells where our fire has smouldered back into life. We all mused that it was more mental fatigue than physical and that has been proved to be the case.

It’s also been proved that, if we match the workrate and physicalit­y shown by our opponents, our skill and ingenuity will win through. All three games were more comfortabl­e than the scorelines suggest but we are still willing the winter break to toll its bell. Rest is needed and also change which is now easier to do as we are no longer carrying the invincible tag.

It feels like chapter one of Brendan Rodgers’ story is ending and the next one is beginning.
