Image for Celtic: Many fans buzz over Patrick Roberts footage

A whole host of Celtic fans are very happy on Twitter to see footage of Patrick Roberts footage emerge from the SPFL’s account.

Roberts was a huge hit north of the border during the two and a half seasons he spent on loan there from Manchester City, having featured 78 times while netting 18 goals and registering 26 assists which quite frankly are outrageous numbers.

Is Ange Postecoglou in danger of losing the Celtic dressing room?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Since the end of Roberts’ final loan spell with the Bhoys in 2018, he’s been shipped out to five different clubs by Man City having scored just two senior goals combined for those clubs, which is a far cry from his time at Celtic.

One memory has emerged of Roberts from the SPFL’s Twitter account in which he scored a stunning goal against Partick Thistle.

A lot of Celtic fans are loving this Roberts footage on Twitter.

What have these Celtic fans been saying?

“Take him back in a heart beat. Great player”

@del_mcintosh

“Bring him home.”

@BixWeetabecke

“Still miss him and want him back”

@lewjohnstone7

“Hero”

@StevenRoss67

“Miss u, love u”

@peter_tomlinson

“Wish we brought him back”

In 2015, Man City shelled out £11 million on 18-year old Roberts, who had been playing for Fulham in the Championship, but he’s failed to stamp his mark with the Premier League champions, and after six years at the Etihad, he has only been able to rack up three appearances in all competitions.

Now 24 years old, it may be time for Roberts to cut out the loan spells and eventually look for a new permanent home away from Manchester as he still has the majority of his career ahead of him.
