Celtic: Some Hoops fans talk about Kolo Toure

Some Celtic fans have been left fuming by the latest video involving Kolo Toure that went viral on social media.

Toure celebrated his 39th birthday on the 19th of March. A Celtic-related page called ‘Celtic1967.com’ posted a video of their former defender and the page wished the former Ivory Coast man on the day.

The video got a reaction out of many Celtic fans. A lot of them were not happy that he was being wished a happy birthday.

Turned his back on Celtic just like Rodgers & Davies

Celtic signed Toure in the summer of 2016 when he had signed a one-year deal at Parkhead at the age of 35.

During his time at Celtic, Toure had made 17 appearances in all competitions for the club. Only nine of those appearances came in the Premiership. Toure announced his retirement in September 2017 and had joined the Hoops’ coaching staff with Brendan Rodgers. When Rodgers left for Leicester City in February 2019, Toure left along with him.

What do we think?

Considering Toure had left Celtic for Leicester with Rodgers, one can see why Hoops fans would be angry at him. But under Neil Lennon, the club is at the top of the Premiership and are 13 points clear. Leicester are in a Champions League spot themselves and it proves that none of the parties came worse off in the exits of Rodgers and Toure. Losing them hasn’t made Celtic any worse and maybe, it is time to move on.
