Hull City midfielder David Meyler took to Twitter on Wednesday evening to praise Celtic and their striker Moussa Dembele for their displays against Manchester City.
The Bhoys hosted Premier League leaders City on Wednesday night, with many predicting a mauling given that Celtic had lost their opening game of the group stage 7-o against Barcelona, and City had won all 12 of their competitive games under Pep Guardiola.

Celtic stunned City though as Dembele diverted the ball home to put the Bhoys in the lead inside the first three minutes, only for Fernandinho to equalise for Guardiola’s men before Brendan Rodgers men went back in front after Raheem Sterling deflected Kieran Tierney’s cross into his own net.
Sterling quickly hit back to bring City level in a topsy-turvy encounter, before Dembele and Nolito traded second half goals to make the final score 3-3.
