Many Celtic fans have been talking about the latest tweet that the club relayed on social media recently.
The official Celtic Twitter account recently posted images of the club’s players training ahead of their friendly against Paris Saint-Germain on 21st July. The tweet revealed that the images were from the club’s ‘final’ training session before the game. The tweet went on to ask Celtic fans if they are excited for the clash against Thomas Tuchel’s men.
Some Hoops fans flocked to this tweet and made it clear that they aren’t excited at all.
Right lads biggest season in history is about to start, instead of giving you a confidence booster we’re going to send you to France to get absolutely demolished by a squad that’s scored 16 and conceded 0 in just 2 games.

Will Celtic lose by a big margin against PSG?
Yes, I think we will
No, it will be close
Excited isn’t the word I’d use to be honest, especially when you see the last few PSG results ?

Naw no really. It’s all good playing glamour friendlies but I have a feeling this could be a sore one ?

The Hoops have already faced a couple of other French sides in pre-season already. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Nice thanks to Patryk Klimala’s goal, while they lost by a 2-1 scoreline to Lyon, with Moussa Dembele netting against them as Mohamed Elyounoussi got on the scoresheet for Neil Lennon’s men.
While talking about PSG, though, some other Celtic fans were also pessimistic.
Can not wait to be embarrassed again

Na man.
This could be a massacre.— Kev Murray? (@KevinMurrayOff1) July 20, 2020

Slightly scared

These Celtic fans seem pretty pessimistic about the game against the Parisiens, with some fearing that the Hoops can lose the game by a big margin on the day.
In a friendly in recent weeks, PSG managed to demolish Le Havre by a 9-0 scoreline. It shows that they are in good form. They also have had great form against the Hoops in their last few meetings. In the 2017/18 season, PSG defeated Celtic 7-1 and 5-0 in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.
This shows that Celtic fans indeed have every reason to be scared and there is a chance that they could lose by a big scoreline.
