BBC pundits say fans ‘weren’t happy’ with Celtic star minutes after coming on v Dundee United

That includes back-to-back victories at home, with Celtic defeating Dundee United 2-0 on Wednesday to take a 16-point lead at the top of the league. After promotion, Jim Goodwin’s team has a good chance of finishing in third place because they have been excellent this season.

Furthermore, they were the first club in the Premiership to prevent Celtic from scoring in the rematch at Tannadice, so it was never going to be an easy game, and it turned out to be such. Daizen Maeda put the team up after twenty-three minutes, but the champions couldn’t relax until Reo Hatate entered the game and sealed the victory seven minutes from the end. Even though he was only on the field for a little moment, one individual didn’t help himself as the Celtic supporters became irate in the last 15 to 20 minutes.

Luis Palma’s performance against Dundee United “did not sit well” with Celtic supporters.

Luis Palma serves as Celtic’s backup option and hasn’t demonstrated that he is deserving of a permanent spot under Brendan Rodgers or that he will make an appearance in the starting lineup. Allan Preston and Pat Bonner informed BBC Radio Scotland that he was being one-dimensional with the ball and wasn’t winning his challenges when he entered the game against Dundee United. As a result, the audience began to grunt and moan at the player. The BBC commentator said, “Palma, trying to get there, but Stephenson got there first.” “There’s just something shaky about the Celtic fans.”

“Yeah, they weren’t happy there with Palma,” Bonner said. He didn’t compete a little bit more for that ball only on the field. “Palma, coming in off the left side, off the bench for Celtic, heading towards the byline, well, an unlucky start to his little cameo as a Celtic sub here,” the BBC announcer continued minutes later. His earlier challenge for the ball infuriated the Celtic supporters. Then, for a goal kick, he overran it.
