Celtic fans have been reacting to comments made by Ange Postecoglou ahead of their Europa League qualifier against Czech outfit Jablonec.

Having been knocked out of the Champions League by FC Midtjylland last week, the Bhoys have been granted another chance to make inroads in Europe this season through the Europa League, with their next game coming in the third qualifying round of the competition.

Speaking in his press conference (via @AlisonGConroy), the Australian provided an update on his team selection for the game, hinting that he will ‘make a call’ on whether or not new goalkeeper Joe Hart will make his debut for the club, whilst also stating that Leigh Griffiths should return to training later this week.

Celtic fans reacted to the news on social media, where it led to some very interesting responses, which included some rather negative ones surrounding Griffiths:

“The call: “are your hands working.””

“No thank you to Leigh Griffiths. Hang yer boots up as ye exit the team. Time’s up!”
“Leigh Griffiths should not return to training later this week or any week”
“Hart must start. They’ve not flown him out there for some sightseeing”
“Start Hart”
“Griffiths shouldn’t IMHO be anywhere near the team going forward.”

Let’s hope that they can get off to a positive start in the tie – that might cheer up a number of those fans ahead of the second leg.
