BBC Commentator’s Witty Remark Sparks Rangers After Alistair Johnston’s Goal
A clever quip from BBC’s live commentary during Celtic’s 3-0 victory over Motherwell has sparked attention, particularly among Rangers fans. When Alistair Johnston scored Celtic’s second goal in the 58th minute, the BBC remark, “That’s more than some teams in the Premiership have managed…” highlighted Johnston’s impressive third away goal this season.
This subtle jab drew attention to Johnston’s personal away goal tally surpassing some Premiership teams, including Rangers, who have managed just one away goal so far this season.
Rangers’ away form and goalscoring record have faced scrutiny from their fanbase, making the BBC’s comment particularly poignant. Celtic fans, however, likely enjoyed the commentary’s extra flair, emphasizing Johnston’s contribution and Celtic’s dominance on the road.
Johnston’s influence in Brendan Rodgers’ side is undeniable. The Canadian international has been vital in Celtic’s consistent performances, contributing to both defense and attack. His latest goal helped maintain Celtic’s top league position.
