Celtic fans everywhere will be thrilled with the Bhoys’ 3-1 Champions League win over RB Leipzig this week.
With legends like Victor Wanyama and John Hartson at Parkhead to witness it, congratulations poured in from all around following this standout victory.
After the game, Chris Sutton took a jab at Celtic’s critics, saying, “We haven’t heard from those who were quick to criticize Celtic and Scottish football after the Dortmund game…”
Nicolas Kuhn and Reo Hatate were key in driving home that message, as Celtic now appear to be a serious contender in the Champions League after years of near misses.
Alan Thompson gives his high praise after Celtic’s Leipzig triumph
Posting on his X account during Wednesday’s Champions League games, Thompson remarked that, despite some strong teams in action, none displayed the same composed, flowing football as Celtic did against Leipzig.
Thompson wrote: “Watching Champions League tonight, I haven’t seen any team with the same composure and flow as @celticfc showed last night against @RBLeipzig.”
Is he a bit biased? Maybe, like many Celtic supporters. But it’s hard to disagree. This Leipzig win is one of Celtic’s most memorable, and the atmosphere at Parkhead will be remembered for a long time.
Celtic’s mission to solidify their Champions League position
While the Champions League dynamic has changed, fans are seeing promising signs of Parkhead reclaiming its fortress reputation in Europe. Celtic has now won its last three home games in the competition—exactly the kind of winning streak supporters have been longing for.
Up next, a match against Club Brugge on Scottish turf offers another chance for Celtic to strengthen their league phase credentials, followed by a January showdown with Young Boys, keeping fans hopeful as they aim for progression.
