Graveside chat is Rodgers can't bury his own blame

IF Celtic fail to finish above Rangers this season it will be the biggest embarrassment of Brendan Rodgers' career.

- 

How could the situation be viewed any other way?

He’ been given several points of a start because of a failed managerial appointment at Ibrox, where a coaching framework is still being worked out on the hoof.

In confusion there should be profit at the expense of the team across the road on the other side of the city.

But here's the snag.

Dundee are, to put it bluntly, hopeless and will either be relegated automatically this season or grace the playoff final.

But you wouldn't put two bob on the defending champions beating Steven Pressley’s side this afternoon at Dens Park.

Such is the vulnerability of a team engulfed by a decline in form, watched by fans suffering varying degrees of anxiety and hostility towards the board.
