Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic lost to Hibernian at the weekend.
Hibernian forward Florian Kamberi has told The Scottish Sun that Celtic are not scary anymore.
Kamberi made the comments following Hibernian’s 2-0 win against Celtic at home in the Scottish Premiership at the weekend.
The Hoops were favourites to pick up all three points from the encounter, but it was Neil Lennon’s side who won the match.
Kamberi scored the second goal for Hibs on 59 minutes, and the 23-year-old Swiss forward believes that Celtic are not scary.
Kamberi told The Scottish Sun: “Celtic of course are favourites, but that doesn’t mean anything, it’s the performance on the pitch that is relevant.
“I haven’t played against Rangers yet but they’re on a good run, Kilmarnock are also on a good run.
“Of course, if you look at past years and how Celtic were, then they are definitely the favourites. But nobody has to be scared of them.”
Damning comments
Celtic have dominated Scottish football for a while now, and it is quite something of Kamberi to claim that no one should not scared of the Hoops.
The Glasgow giants have not been entirely convincing this season, and the 23-year-old Hibernian forward’s comments underline that Celtic have lost a bit of their old shine.
The Bhoys, though, still have the best squad in Scotland, and perhaps a couple of good signings in the January transfer window, especially a striker, could make them ‘scary’ again.
