Charlie Mulgrew’s hysterical theory on how Celtic have been ‘Brendafied’

Former Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew has suggested that senior Celtic players are still "Brendafied," holding onto Brendan Rodgers' tactical principles during difficult periods under Martin O'Neill. Speaking on The Breakdown, Mulgrew argued that experienced squad members who worked under tactically precise managers like Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou naturally revert to those methods when results falter.

Mulgrew recalled returning to Celtic for training during Rodgers' early tenure, noting how completely the squad adopted Rodgers' methods and viewed him as a football messiah. While Mulgrew dismissed claims that O'Neill has lost the dressing room, he argued O'Neill's managerial approach differs significantly from modern, detailed tactical systems.
