Proving that without a doubt he simply didn’t get it in the first place, former Rangers defender Phil Bardsley comments have been offering a defence of Celtic. That is to say, Celtic’s manager Martin O’Neill. For a reasonably intelligent person…

Ibrox Noise writer Sam Groves has criticized former Rangers defender Phil Bardsley for publicly defending Celtic manager Martin O'Neill. Bardsley expressed support for O'Neill, calling recent criticism directed at the Celtic boss disrespectful and praising his past title success after Celtic managed to finish strongly at the end of last season.
Groves argues that Bardsley's supportive comments are tone-deaf and inappropriate for a former Ibrox player. While acknowledging that Bardsley played under O'Neill at Sunderland, the writer contends that Celtic and their manager deserve current criticism, claiming Bardsley's defence disregards the fierce rivalry between the two Glasgow clubs.
