Celtic Fans Demand Player Is Sold Immediately After Dreadful Performance Against AS Roma
Celtic supporters are known for their passion, loyalty, and unwavering support, but even that has its limits. After the club’s disappointing performance against AS Roma, frustration reached boiling point, and one player in particular has found himself at the centre of a storm. Across social media, fan forums, and post match discussions, Celtic fans are demanding that the player be sold immediately following what many have described as a disastrous and unforgivable display on a crucial European night.
The match itself was always going to be a difficult test. AS Roma arrived with confidence, organisation, and physicality, while Celtic needed a disciplined, energetic performance to compete. Instead, fans were left watching a display that lacked intensity, focus, and leadership in key areas of the pitch. But the bulk of the anger was directed at one under fire star, whose errors, lack of composure, and questionable decision making contributed heavily to the disappointing result.
The first major flashpoint came early in the game, when a careless moment of hesitation allowed Roma to launch a dangerous attack. Celtic were fortunate not to concede, but the early warning signs rattled supporters. Instead of responding with calmness and structure, the player’s performance continued to unravel. Every misplaced pass, every mistimed challenge, and every positional lapse fed the growing frustration inside the stadium and online.
By the time Roma took full control of the match, fans had seen enough. Many believed that the player had been given more than enough chances this season to prove his worth, yet the same issues such as inconsistency, lack of concentration, and poor decision making continued to surface. As one fan wrote on social media, “We can’t keep defending this. Every big game he lets us down. Sell him in January. No excuses left.”
Another supporter echoed similar sentiments: “He cost us again. Every time the pressure is on, he disappears or makes mistakes. We need players who can handle nights like this.” These reactions were not isolated. Hundreds of comments across different platforms reflected the same tone: disappointment, frustration, and a growing belief that the club must take action.
Even neutral observers acknowledged that the player’s struggles were too costly for a team with ambitions of competing consistently in Europe. His inability to cope with Roma’s pressing, his erratic distribution, and his defensive vulnerabilities were highlighted in post match analysis. Pundits noted that the performance was far below the standards expected at Celtic, especially in a match where discipline and structure were vital.
For manager Brendan Rodgers, this presents a difficult challenge. Publicly, he is unlikely to criticise any individual player harshly, but privately, he will know that change may be necessary. With the January transfer window approaching, pressure from fans combined with ongoing inconsistencies could force the club to consider offers if they arrive.
Celtic’s squad depth has been questioned multiple times this season, and many fans believe that keeping players who consistently underperform only holds the team back. They want reinforcements, upgrades, and footballers with the mentality and quality required for European competitions. If the reaction to this performance is anything to go by, supporters believe that moving this player on would be the first step in that process.
While emotions always run high after disappointing results, the overwhelming sense from the Celtic fanbase is clear: they have lost patience. Loyalty is a treasured value among Celtic supporters, but performances like the one against AS Roma test even the most devoted fans. Unless the player can drastically improve and restore trust, the calls for a January exit will only grow louder.
Celtic face an important period ahead, and decisions made in the coming weeks could shape the remainder of their season. For now, though, one thing is certain the fans have spoken, and they are demanding action.
