Here’s how the fans reacted on social media:

@Sean61397857: “Great first half, best we’ve looked for a while. Keep it up second half and give us a couple more goals.”

@CelticFc_Core: “Best half of football we have played all season. Shame it's took us till February to look like the Celtic who dominated the past decade of Scottish football.”

@DanManCelt: “Seeing a lot of this this season, all of the play, possession, and shots galore, but one goal at the break. Far better on the eyes today though Celtic, more intensity, less touches, just need more goals second half.”

@eightsixonesix: “Welsh absolutely solid. Should have been in the team months ago.”

@Dec92316: “How Greg Taylor plays ahead of Laxalt I’ll never know.”

@steviec180466: “Give Turnbull a brand new 5 year contract and pay him top money.”

@LogantheCav: “This game is definitely finishing 1-1.”
