Chris Sutton has passionately defended Celtic following their impressive 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League. The former Celtic striker praised the team’s performance and criticized those who were quick to judge Celtic harshly after their recent heavy defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
In a spirited game at Parkhead, Christoph Baumgartner initially put Leipzig ahead, but Celtic bounced back strongly. Nicolas Kuhn scored twice, turning the game around with a beautiful curled strike and a tap-in, assisted by strong left-flank play from Reo Hatate and Greg Taylor. Hatate later added a third goal, capitalizing on an error from Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi to secure Celtic’s victory.
Sutton highlighted the silence from critics who had doubted Celtic’s ability to compete in Europe after their 7-1 loss to Dortmund. He called out those who, after that loss, questioned Brendan Rodgers’ tactics, suggesting they were “too gung-ho” for European competition. Now with two wins, a draw, and one loss, Celtic are pushing for a playoff spot, currently sitting 13th in the Champions League standings. Sutton’s tweet calling out the critics resonated with fans, garnering thousands of likes and shares.
