Several Celtic fans were stunned by Jozo Simunovic’s performance as the Hoops booked their Scottish Cup final ticket.
Several Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to laud Jozo Simunovic after his performance in the Scottish Cup semi-final win against Aberdeen on Sunday, with many suggesting that the centre-back looked to finally be back to his very best as the Hoops kept their treble hopes alive.
Neil Lennon’s men produced an outstanding display to beat Aberdeen 3-0 at Hampden Park. James Forrest opened the scoring at the end of the first-half, before Odsonne Edouard and Tom Rogic made the game safe with two goals inside eight minutes shortly after the hour mark.
In truth, it was about as dominant as a semi-final can be. And it nearly started in perfect fashion for Celtic, as Simunovic had two chances to break the deadlock in the opening few minutes.
Unfortunately, the 24-year-old was unable to convert the opportunities. But that did not stop the Celtic fans on social media from suggesting that they had seen an outstanding display from the defender.
Simunovic’s time at Celtic has been mixed. His ability has never been in doubt, but his form has dipped as he has struggled to stay fit for a prolonged period of time.
But after watching the centre-back cruise through Sunday’s game, several supporters on Twitter suggested that Celtic saw the player who reportedly cost up to £5.5 million in 2015 (via Sky Sports), and have lauded Lennon for seemingly overseeing the transformation.
