Philippe Clement’s Rangers Future at the Top of AGM Agenda as Monday Jury Unveils Celtic’s Strongest XI – Tension Builds!
Celtic flexed their muscles with six changes to their lineup, yet still cruised to victory, sparking the ongoing question: what is their strongest starting XI? Brendan Rodgers now has the depth he sought from the start, allowing him to rotate players without sacrificing quality, putting the champions in excellent form. The lineup against Club Brugge seems to be the one Rodgers trusts most, with only a few changes expected, such as Paulo Bernardo replacing Arne Engels. The competition for spots is fierce, with players like Alex Valle and Luke McCowan pushing for starting positions.
Meanwhile, at Rangers, the upcoming AGM will be a crucial meeting with Philippe Clement’s future at the forefront, especially following a potential loss in the League Cup Final. The pressure is mounting, with shareholders demanding answers on a range of issues, including the manager’s future and the club’s financial strategy. The gap between Rangers and Celtic remains wide, and the board’s approach to January investment will be key to bridging that divide.
At Hibernian, David Gray is starting to show signs of progress after a solid win at Motherwell, but with tougher fixtures ahead, the pressure remains high. For Kilmarnock, while they’ve struggled, Derek McInnes’ team is just a few wins away from the top half of the table, and their fight for a top-six finish is far from over. January’s transfer window will be crucial for all these teams as they look to strengthen for the second half of the season.
