Celtic managed to draw 3-3 with Manchester City in Champions League action last night.
Rio Ferdinand has praised Celtic’s performance against Manchester City on BT Sport’s live coverage of the match.
Celtic managed to claim a 3-3 draw against City, in what was an absolutely pulsating encounter at Parkhead.
Brendan Rodgers’ side matched the Premier League side, and gave them an almighty scare.
And former Manchester United defender Ferdinand said: “Huge credit has to go to Brendan Rodgers and his team. They were beaten 7-0 at the Nou Camp and had to answer some critics. And they’ve done it. They have played some intense football and really put Manchester City under pressure.”
Celtic first took the lead when Moussa Dembele headed home from close range, but Fernandinho quickly responded for the away side.
The match was played at 100 miles an hour, and Celtic took the lead twice more – thanks to a Raheem Sterling own goal and Dembele again – but City kept fighting back to claim a point.
Celtic have ended Pep Guardiola’s side winning run, which had previously lasted for 10 games since the start of the season.
The Bhoys have now moved up to third in their Champions League group, while City are second in the standings.
