The aftermath of Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers’ comments to BBC reporter Jane Lewis continues to stir debate. While some argue that Rodgers and Lewis have a good relationship and that the incident is blown out of proportion others criticize Rodgers for not acknowledging the potential misogyny in his words.

Some feel Rodgers should apologize while others urge to give him a break amid the pressures he faces. The discussion also touches on broader issues within Celtic including criticism from their own supporters and negative narratives surrounding the club.

Amidst this, a mention is made of the contrasting reactions to controversial remarks compared to other issues in Scottish football. The ongoing hype around Rangers is downplayed by one caller predicting Celtic’s success and there is a skeptical view of the club’s director of football Phil Clement.
