Stoke City midfielder Darren Fletcher seems to have been impressed with the mentality of the Celtic players.
Just before the two-week international break, Celtic drew 2-2 with Hibernian at home in the Scottish Premiership.
The Hoops headed into the match at Celtic Park on the back of a 3-0 victory over Anderlecht away from home at Belgium in the Champions League.
Prior to the win in Belgium, Brendan Rodgers’s side had got the better of Old Firm rivals Rangers 2-0 away from home at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic were expected to win against Hibernian, but the Hoops needed a late goal from Callum McGregor to pick up a point from the encounter.
A number of the Celtic players then joined the Scotland squad for their 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Stoke City midfielder Darren Fletcher was also part of the Scotland team for their final two qualifiers.
The former Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion star has made a very telling observation about the Celtic players, underlining just how disappointed they were to draw against Hibs and their sheer determination to win each and every match.
“When we teamed up last week at first, the Celtic lads were devastated that they had drawn the previous weekend’s game with Hibs,” Fletcher told The Glasgow Evening Times.
“That tells you everything about the demands they put on themselves. That is the mentality if you want to be a top team and achieve the kind of things that they have.”
