Controversial pundit Jason Cundy may have to eat his words about Celtic “embarrassing British football” if one condition is met—acknowledging that Brendan Rodgers’ team is now on track for the Champions League knockout stages.
Cundy was initially harsh on Celtic after their 7-1 loss to Dortmund on matchday two, but since then, the Scottish champions have bounced back, earning a crucial away point against Atalanta and defeating RB Leipzig, who are currently second in the Bundesliga, 3-1 at home. This resurgence has lifted Celtic to seven points from four games.
During a recent debate, a Celtic fan named Mark called in, pressing Cundy to apologize to Celtic fans. Jamie O’Hara backed him up, pointing out that Celtic’s strong performances warranted an apology. Cundy did acknowledge Celtic’s win but was reluctant to fully apologize, arguing that Celtic’s heavy loss to Dortmund still cast a shadow.
As the conversation unfolded, Cundy eventually conceded that he would issue an apology if Celtic advanced to the next stage, especially if they finished in the top eight. Despite Celtic’s recent success, Cundy maintained his stance, insisting that qualifying from the group of 36 only required avoiding being in the bottom tier.
This spirited exchange ended with Cundy saying they would revisit the discussion in a few weeks, leaving the possibility of his apology open, should Celtic continue to prove their mettle in the Champions League.
