Welcome back to our daily roundup of some of the most intriguing TalkingPoints on our 67 Hail Hail platform.
It was a winning start to the third stint under Martin O’Neill as Celtic beat Dundee United 4-0.
The performance had everything that had been missing under Wilfried Nancy, as Hyunjun Yang, Arne Engels, Benjamin Nygren and Daizen Maeda all got on the scoresheet.
As Hearts and Rangers didn’t play, the Hoops moved back into second, three points behind the league leaders.
A lot needs to change and you guys have had your say on yesterday’s game. Want your say too? Join the conversation on TalkingPoints.
67 Hail Hail fans name their man of the match
There was only one player that was going to earn the man of the match award, and that was Yang.
Who is Celtic’s Man of the Match vs Dundee United?
We have no idea what has happened in the past few weeks but the South Korean has clearly had his weetabix.
After being the only player to impress against Rangers, O’Neill put his faith in the winger and was rewarded with a star performance.
67 Hail Hail’s fans were in agreement too, with one person commenting: “Yang gets the MOTM again. He’s been brilliant these past couple of weeks.”
Do Celtic’s players have to take responsibility for Nancy failure?
Everyone knows that Celtic had no choice but to sack Nancy, however, do the players need to take responsibility?
The players were able to hide behind Nancy’s issues but now they will not get away with it while O’Neill is here.
It may be encouraging to see a quick upturn in performances, but it does beg the question of where has this been the past few weeks?
How much responsibility should the players take for Nancy’s tenure, given how quickly they seem to have turned it around with Dundee win?
One fan stated: “I refuse to believe all desire goes out of the window because of one man. MON can do no wrong but these are professional footballers who represent Celtic, good to see they’re finally playing like it.”
Another added: “Players react to the mood in the dressing room at every level in the game. I acknowledge they have a responsibility to perform but when the atmosphere is toxic, then obviously it hits them psychologically in performance!”
