'Well done Celtic reserves', 'bit slow in attack', 'are we going to talk about Callum McGregor?': Celtic fans react to goalless first half with Hibs

Celtic played out a goalless first half with Hibs in the Scottish Premiership where the home side ended the period in the ascendancy despite missing 13 first-team players, and manager Neil Lennon, thanks to a positive Covid-19 test in the camp.

Here’s what the fans made of it on social media:

@BhoyBoris: “Well done Celtic reserves. The goals are coming. Just need better decision making.”

@_JFC67: “Not the worst first half of the season...but that says more about the season than this performance.”

@eightsixonesix: “Looking much better in that period just before the end of the half. Turnbull's pass for Calmac was different gravy, should have been in the net.”

@CelticFc_Core: “Bit slow in attack but this is on teh board for allowing a trip to Dubai and putting 14 players out of availability. Can't get on at the team and Gavin too much to be honest.”

@Sean61397857: “Big Duffy having his best game for us. Young lad up front is trying his wee heart out but the ball just won’t stick. Gonna take a goal from outside the box or a set piece a think.”

@seumasabheinn: “Finally settled down after an edgy start. The key to goals is shooting obviously and not these 1-2s which keep breaking down.”

@thomasl26078805: “R we gonny talk about how bad Callum mcgregor is or are we just going to keep lettin him of with it cause he’s a so called “fan”.”

@ChrisStewartCS: “No players, no fans, no leadership, no point. Soul destroying season.”

@Adam_6788: “Hope Lennon doesn’t have notifications on if he’s watching on hesgoal it will be delayed.”
