Some Celtic fans have been left angry by the club’s squad announcement from their Premiership game against Livingston.
The Hoops released their squad for the Livingston game an hour before kick-off. The game resulted in a 2-2 draw as the Parkhead-based side kept their unbeaten Premiership run in 2020 going. They now have a 13-point lead over Rangers at the pinnacle of the table.
But the club’s squad announcement didn’t go down well with the fans. They wanted the club to remove the video announcement and go back to the picture announcements.
Which squad announcement is better?
Photo is the best
Video is better and new

What do we think?
The usage of the videos is something new for the club considering they would always use a static image in the past. But the media team is probably trying something new and dynamic to make their content seem more interactive.
Celtic drew the game and that should be the only thing that matters to them. Let the social media team get on with their job.
