Former Celtic Star Joe Ledley has been speaking on Soccer AM on Sky Sports this morning about his old club and reckons that the absence of supporters this season has been the main reason for the on-field problems that the team have experienced.
Clearly there are many other factors that need to be included in any review of what has happened at our club this season but the lack of fans at games has clearly been a factor. Indeed our home results this season have actually been worse than our away results.
“It’s a difficult season for them. I think without fans being there, especially at Celtic Park, the atmosphere unbelievable, and that hasn’t helped the players,” Ledley stated.
“I don’t know what’s going on, it’s a difficult period. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve won nearly all the trophies they can in the last four years so you can’t complain but those fans wanted to do Ten-in-a-Row and that was the big thing.”
A full Celtic Park is among the best places in the world to watch or play football. the former Welsh international believes. “It is by far the best atmosphere, it’s probably up there with the best in the world,” he said.
“I remember when we were doing the huddle, Scott Brown was about two feet away and I’m looking at him and his face is bright red, his veins are popping out.
“You can’t hear a word he’s saying, it’s so loud.”
