Many Celtic fans have been talking about the footage of an Old Firm derby that recently emerged on social media.
The official Celtic Twitter account recently posted a video of an Old Firm derby from April 2018. The Hoops had won the game 5-0 and with that win, they had secured their seventh Premiership title in a row back in the 2017-18 campaign.
The video that the club’s official account posted on Twitter had all five of the Hoops’ goals from the game. The tweet caught the attention of many Celtic fans.
So, what did Celtic fans make of the Old Firm footage?
Don’t know if anyone’s said it but it’s criminal that it was only 5-0 that day…

Do you think Celtic can replicate the 5-0 win on Saturday?
Yes
No
Went home ragin after this! Was hoping for 10! Their keeper MoTM in my opinion! Kept the score lower than what it should have been.

Celtic had attempted 24 shots in the game and as many as 13 of them had been on target. Rangers, on the other hand, had registered only two shots on target (as per BBC Sport).
Odsonne Edouard had grabbed a brace, while James Forrest, Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor had scored a goal each too (as per BBC Sport).
Some other Celtic fans also believe that the Hoops should have won that game by a much bigger scoreline.
Lucky to only be 5 that day ??

Only thing that annoys me about this game is that we didn’t score more. Could of easily taken 7 or 8 off them that day https://t.co/rLWGLOR8zX

The Hoops had been 5-0 up in that game by the 53rd minute, when Callum McGregor had scored and considering the number of shots they had on target, it is understandable why fans believe that they should have scored more goals.
Since the 2017/18 campaign, a total of 12 Old Firm derbies have been played between the two sides and Celtic have won eight of them. So they clearly go into the game on Saturday with a better head to head record and Celtic fans would certainly like it if their club kept that record going.
