Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton certainly wasn’t getting carried away about Celtic 2-1 victory over Feyenoord in the Champions League at Celtic Park last night, although he’d probably have preferred being at Paradise to watch his old team deservedly come out on top in what was a very entertaining game of football.

Like many who weren’t at the game, it’s clear that there is a negativity hanging around about the game itself and the atmosphere inside Celtic Park which apparently appeared somewhat subdued on TNT Sports. That certainly wasn’t the case inside the stadium where both sets of supporters got behind their respective teams and combined to make an excellent atmosphere.

Feyenoord fans were welcomed by everyone at Celtic Park and the sheer size of an away support inside the ground certainly helped and whisper it but it’s actually a framework for the Glasgow Derby going forward into 2024 with around 2500 away supporters inside the ground.

That of course would have to be reciprocated across the city when Celtic visit Ibrox and Celtic would require the necessary safety assurances after a series of glass or bottle assaults on Celtic fans inside that dangerous little corner that they call an away end.

Anyway back to Chris Sutton’s remarks, have a listen for yourselves as see if you agree with his assessment or that of Brendan Rodgers which you can read below’s Sutton’s remarks.

“I’m not going to be getting the bunting out! In a pretty gentle group, Celtic haven’t done anywhere near well enough.” Chris Sutton reflects on Celtic’s first home UEFA Champions League win since 2013 and why January’s transfer window will be “interesting” as Brendan Rodgers looks to strengthen his squad with the addition of multiple quality signings.
