Image for Celtic: Fans slate Jonjoe Kenny’s performance

Lots of Celtic fans have blasted Jonjoe Kenny for his performance in the Old Firm recently.

The Hoops took a 4-1 loss in the Old Firm on Sunday, not helped by being down to ten men as a result of Callum McGregor’s sending off. John Kennedy’s men did make it 1-1 through Odsonne Edouard, but the Gers scored two goals in the second half to win the game (as per Daily Record).

Kenny had started the game at right-back on Sunday and the Everton loanee picked up a rating of 6.15 in the outing. He failed to complete a single dribble, as the Englishman played only a single key pass too (as per Whoscored).

Has Kenny been poor for Celtic this season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Defensively, he wasn’t too bad as he attempted five tackles and completed three clearances. But the 24-year-old didn’t make a single interception (as per Whoscored).

Kenny’s performance drew the attention of many Celtic fans, who were fuming about the Everton loanee.

What did Celtic fans make of Kenny’s performance?

“If I had a pound for the amount of times Jonjoe Kenny has passed the ball back this season I think I’d have enough money to buy Celtic.

During his time at Parkhead so far, Kenny has played nine Premiership games for the club and he has picked up one assist, with an average WhoScored rating 7.06 (as per Whoscored).

This suggests that he has had some decent games, irrespective of the fact that his performance in the Old Firm wasn’t great. So Celtic fans should perhaps wait for the season to end before making a judgement about Kenny.
