Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to have a bit of a moan at the club for posting footage of fans celebrating against Ferencváros on Tuesday.
What’s the story?
Well, as you’ll know, UEFA put the Celtic supporters in a difficult position after arranging for the Europa League tie to kick off at 3:30pm.
Of course, that meant some fans had to book time off work, or for those unwilling to do so, call in sick.
Presumably, thousands inside Celtic Park on Tuesday did the latter, so fans weren’t happy to see Celtic upload close-up footage of the stands.
As one supporter below wrote, Celtic may have just landed thousands of their own fans in trouble with their place of work.
Nevertheless, we’re sure those who did go to extreme lengths to make Tuesday’s game enjoyed themselves, as an impressive win was recorded.
Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and David Turnbull gave the Bhoys their first Europa League win of the campaign, having already played three games.

What is happening to football?
If you didn’t already know, Celtic played on Tuesday at 3:30pm because Rangers also have a Europa League game at Ibrox on Thursday – the two Scottish giants aren’t allowed to play home games on the same night.
UEFA also didn’t want a Europa League game to clash with the Champions League, hence the afternoon kick-off.
In our view, that is absurd.
Who cares if Celtic’s game clashes with Champions League fixtures? Are the viewing figures more important than making things convenient for thousands of Celtic fans keen to watch their side?
After more than a year of behind-closed-doors games, it’s a disgrace for UEFA to make life difficult for the Celtic fans.
For now, let’s see what the Celtic fans on Twitter have been saying about the club’s tweet…
