‘Let that mob back into the title’, ‘Back to Liverpool now’ – Celtic fans destroy ‘absolute disgrace’ Nat Phillips after 2-1 Kilmarnock loss
Celtic fans have dubbed Nat Phillips an “absolute disgrace” for his performance against Kilmarnock in their 2-1 Scottish Premiership defeat on Sunday (10 December).
The Hoops suffered their first league defeat of the campaign at Rugby Park, with the Liverpool loanee notching an own goal to get the Killies level and playing Matthew Kennedy onside for his 87th-minute winner.
The 26-year-old came into the side in the wake of Cameron Carter-Vickers’ absence but had an afternoon he will want to forget after the result gave Rangers the chance to close the gap on the league leaders.
Matt O’Riley opened the scoring for Brendan Rodger’s side but they failed to capitalise on their superior possession and shooting stats to put the game to bed.
Fans have taken to social media to berate the centre-back’s outing and many never want to see him don the green and white ever again.
This fan was furious that his actions allowed the Gers a way back into the title race.
Another was not surprised with the display considering the Englishman’s lack of game time throughout his career.
This supporter is eager to see a new backup option brought into the club this January after his display.
One fan slammed Phillips for thinking he could “stroll” into the Scottish top flight from the Premier League.
This fan, despite his age and health, backed himself as a more effective defender than Phillips.
Another admitted the Killies deserved the win but wanted him hauled back to Merseyside.
This fan slammed the whole Celtic side but singled Phillips out specifically and did not fancy his chances of staying at Parkhead much longer.
One supporter fumed at Rodgers for selecting him at all.
