Rangers: Before the Old Firm match, a pundit gives a “conspiracy” verdict in the midst of Brendan Rodgers’ update.

The discussion surrounding the potential touchline ban for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers ahead of the Old Firm clash against Rangers has led to speculation and conspiracy theories among fans. Peter Grant, a pundit on Go Radio, suggests that if Rodgers is indeed banned, it may fuel conspiracy theories about favoritism toward Rangers within the Scottish football authorities. Grant expresses concerns that such a scenario would not only undermine the integrity of Scottish football but also exacerbate existing conspiracy theories surrounding the sport.

Grant highlights the recent controversies involving Rangers, including allegations of unfair penalty awards, which have already fueled speculation among fans. Additionally, he references a recent contentious refereeing decision that favored Celtic in a match against Philippe Clement’s side, further contributing to the atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust among supporters.

While Rodgers’ potential absence from the touchline could provide a boost to Clement’s team, Grant emphasizes that it does not guarantee success for Rangers in the upcoming match. He calls for clarity regarding Rodgers’ situation to dispel any rumors of bias or conspiracy and shift the focus back to the game itself.
