The Celtic support has been reacting to the Bhoys’ 3-1 over a very determined and difficult Aberdeen side this afternoon in the Scottish Premiership. The Hoops travelled to Pittodrie in just their second game of the league season after overcoming Ross County last week at Celtic Park 4-2 on Flag Day.
Last week gave us all an insight into the good things that Brendan Rodgers is trying to implement to the side once again on his return to Paradise, but also showed us glimpses of how poorly we can be in transition and vulnerable from a defensive perspective – especially set-pieces. County got two goals when they really should have came away with none and it has put the supporters on alert.
Today we saw pretty much the same, except we managed to beat a tricky Dons side away from home, despite not playing our best again. There’s no doubting however, that there will be a bedding in period in the aftermath of playing the same way for the past couple of years. A new manager has come in and with him, new ideas on how the game should be played. What we’re seeing is adjustment to that playing style being refined weekly.
Most supporters were ubiquitous in their assessment of the game and reckon it is a good win at a difficult place this early in the season. Although, that has been caveated by the need for more first-team ready players to come in and elevate the squad for the multiple challenges we face this year.
Here’s some of the reaction:
