‘Make Him Eat His Words’ ‘He is 100% Correct’ Fans On Twitter Respond To AIK Star’s Brutal Assessment Of Celtic

Celtic face Swedish side AIK Solna in the Europa League playoff round on Thursday. Their striker Tarik Elyounoussi says that his team will not be intimidated when they travel to Parkhead to play in the first leg.

The Norwegian has questioned the strength of Scottish football and believes the Hoops showed their weakness in their defeat to Cluj in the Champions League qualifying round:

“Of course, Celtic have a lot of experience in Europe, but they have not been so good in recent years. We will not be dazzled by Celtic. When you hear the name Celtic, you think they are a big team. But they lost four goals at home to Cluj and the Scottish league is not so good.”

Some fans on Twitter believe manager Neil Lennon should use Elyounouussi’s words as motivation for the encounter:

Although a number of supporters did agree with the forward’s assessment of the club and the standard of the game in Scotland:

Celtic will want to restore some pride so they, at least, get into the group stages of the Europa League. AIK have not exactly been impressive in Europe this season either, having lost out to Maribor in the Champions League, and having only narrowly beaten Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol over two legs in the last round.
