Celtic fans have warned that the Hoops cannot afford to continue having slow starts following their draw against Rangers.
The Hoops drew 2-2 after conceding twice in the first half, with Reo Hatate salvaging a point after a missed penalty and two rebounded efforts.
It’s still a long road back in the title race, and does keep Martin O’Neill’s chances of delivering more silverware to Celtic Park alive, but fans on TalkingPoints were still concerned by what they saw in the first 45 minutes.

Celtic’s worrying half-time record
Going into the break 2-0 down was nothing new for Celtic. In fact, it has been a recurring theme for the Hoops.
Sunday’s first half scoreline was the 13th time that the Bhoys have been trailing at the break in all competitions.
Eight of those have been in the Scottish Premiership and resilience hasn’t been too common, and have only come back to win on three occasions, and draw on two.
