Willie Miller was completely blown away with what Celtic did to his old club Aberdeen in the 3-1 Parkhead win.
Miller was stunned at Celtic’s performance as he said that the only thing that saved Jimmy Thelin’s side was the lack of a competent striker.
After watching Celtic hammer 31 shots at Aberdeen’s goal, Miller gave huge credit to Hoops boss Wilfried Nancy.
Why? After watching Celtic destroy the Dons, Miller sent a message to the Parkhead boss after hearing the Frenchman is a ‘wee bit stubborn’.
Aberdeen legend Willie Miller sends Celtic boss ‘great praise’
Nancy stuck to his 3-4-3 system while pressure from Celtic fans was urging him to switch it up after four straight defeats on the bounce.
And Miller said that after all that pressure, Nancy deserved credit for sticking to his guns after watching his beloved Aberdeen struggle at Celtic Park.
Miller told BBC Radio Scotland, “You’ve got to give Wilfried Nancy great praise to stick with his system. You know, I’m thinking, just go back to the back four.
“You’re thinking he’s maybe been a wee bit stubborn, but on the evidence of what I’ve seen, this is the first time I’ve watched them live, of course, since he took over, they were sensational.
What do you think of these stats from Celtic’s win over Aberdeen? Let us know in the comments.
“They were unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable. And the only thing that was missing was the final touch, the final finish.
“So a really fine performance from Celtic and in this kind of a form, they’re almost unplayable, if they can just find that killer touch at the other end.”
Pat Bonner bemoans Celtic’s lack of striking options
Agreeing with Miller, Celtic hero Pat Bonner said that Nancy really must add a new front man in the January transfer window.
Bonner said, ““Any top, top-class striker would have scored maybe three or four goals.
“There is no question. Getting into the positions. Putting the ball into the back of the net. That’s the area he (Nancy) needs to strengthen.”
Cannot agree more.
