Craig Burley has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Celtic’s draw with Manchester City on Wednesday evening.

Celtic played out 3-3 draw with City at home in Champions League Group C.

Pep Guardiola’s side were favourites to win the match, but the Bhoys put up a good fight and deservedly picked up a point.

Former Celtic midfielder Burley was following the match, and he does not appear to be too impressed with the final result.

The former Scotland international appears to have made a sarcastic response to a Celtic fan on Twitter expressing his pride at drawing with City.

Former City forward Franny Lee has also taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the final result, claiming that it was the worst performance of Guardiola’s side so far this season.

While Burley does have a point, it must be noted that this current City could go on to win the Premier League and perhaps the Champions League.

Not allowing a star-studded City side to win at Celtic Park is something to be proud of, especially as Celtic were hammered 7-0 by Barcelona away from home at Camp Nou earlier this month.

The result also enhances Celtic’s chances of finishing third in Group C and dropping down to the Europa League.
