Kolo Toure did not play well for Celtic against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League in midweek.

Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko has told The Daily Record that his teammate Kolo Toure will recover from his mistakes in midweek.

The former Arsenal and Liverpool defender had a disappointing game against Borussia Monchengladbach at Celtic Park in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

The 35-year-old former Ivory Coast international centre-back was at fault for both goals, as Monchengladbach won the Group C game in Glasgow 2-0.

Denmark international centre-back Sviatchenko believes that Toure will recover from his bad game in the Champions league on Wednesday evening.

“Kolo will recover,” Sviatchenko told The Daily Record. “He’s 35, it’s not the first time in his career he has made a mistake. It could have been another player, another game.

“Kolo knows what it takes and in other games he has saved us from conceding goals. We are all together in this, it’s not all on one person.”

Toure is a very good defender and he has been playing well for Celtic so far this season.

The former Manchester City centre-back has made mistakes before in his career, and he will certainly recover from the ones he committed against Monchengladbach.

Celtic will return to action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Old Firm rivals Rangers at Hampden Park in Glasgow in the Scottish League semi-finals.

The Hoops are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 22 points from eight matches.
