Adam Virgo Twitter verdict on Celtic draw against Monchengladbach
By Will Butcher
Former Celtic defender Adam Virgo believes his old side should have taken home all three points against Borussia Moenchengladbach.
French wonderkid Moussa Dembele won a second-half penalty, before converting the spot-kick himself to earn the Hoops a 1-1 draw in Group C of the Champions League.
Virgo, who is now a pundit with talkSPORT and Channel 5 football, revealed on his personal Twitter account that a point was “credible” but Brendan Rodgers’ side should have won the match.
Brendan Rodgers’ side looked a completely different team to the one that was pushed aside at Celtic Park during their 2-0 loss.
Utilising a counter-attack method to full effect, Celtic pressed their Bundesliga rivals with pace on the wings provided by James Forrest and Scott Sinclair and an attacking threat through Dembele.
The 47-time Scottish champions were unable to secure a late winner despite playing against 10 men, after defender Julian Korb was sent off for pushing Dembele over for the penalty.
Despite failing to secure three points in Group C of the Champions League against Gladbach, Celtic can still mathematically qualify if they can beat Barcelona and Manchester City. More realistically, they’ll be aiming for a place in the Europa League.
Celtic face Inverness next at Parkhead on Saturday as the international break looms.
Virgo made just 12 appearances for the Scottish giants during his three-year spell, with injuries preventing him from taking to the field.
