Some Celtic fans have been left to rave about the latest video involving Craig Bellamy that has gone viral on social media.
The Hoops Twitter account recently posted a video of Bellamy on social media. The video dated back to 15 years ago and it showed Bellamy scoring a hat-trick for the Hoops against Dundee United.
How would you rate Bellamy's loan spell at Celtic?
I loved it
It was underwhelming
On seeing this video, many Celtic fans were left raving. They do remember that hat-trick from the former Liverpool man fondly.
One of the finest hat tricks I’ve seen from a Celtic player

Some display from him. Class player. Rab Douglas? Not so.

What a loan signing he was ??????

He was a top top player, he was lightning quick.

Cracking striker for us, wish he stayed longer

That second goal is absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely world class finish.

Celtic had signed Bellamy on loan from Newcastle United in the winter of 2005 and he was at the club for some months till the end of that season.
During his time at Parkhead, Bellamy had also grabbed a brace against Aberdeen. The game from the video had ended 3-2, with Bellamy scoring all the three goals for the club. Celtic didn’t win the Premiership that season but Bellamy did see his former club win the Scottish Cup at the end of that season.
What do we think?
It is clear from the comments of the Celtic fans that even though Bellamy played only half a season at Parkhead, he did leave an impact behind. If not for the player, at least the hat-trick makes Celtic fans remember Bellamy sweetly. He deserves credit for that.
