Erik Sviatchenko needed just one word to sum up his feelings after Celtic’s winner came from Jozo Simunovic.
Erik Sviatchenko reacted to Celtic’s winning goal during their Scottish Premiership clash with Kilmarnock with a one-word message on Twitter on a day when the Hoops looked to pay tribute to Billy McNeill.
Neil Lennon’s side have moved another step closer to securing another league title by bagging the three points against Killie at Parkhead. But despite having 27 attempts on target, the Bhoys could only beat Daniel Bachmann once.
However, as soon as the goal went in, it felt as though the script could not be written any more perfectly. Celtic’s current number five Jozo Simunovic headed home in the 67th minute in the first game since the captain of the Lisbon Lions passed away.
Of course, the number on the back of Simunovic’s shirt remains synonymous with McNeill, so it was completely fitting that the centre-back was the man to settle the game.
Sviatchenko has regularly shown since leaving Celtic permanently last summer that he still keeps a very keen eye on how the Hoops are getting on, and his message on social media after their latest win probably sums up how a lot of supporters felt about the result and the manner of the decisive goal.
The Dane sent a one-word message in response to Simunovic’s goal.
