Read Celtic Verdict

It’s always great to see fans come into a game with the intention of having a good team, and it was nice to see that Rennes supporters could do that, despite the result.

It generally makes the game an even better experience for Celtic fans too, free from vitriol or violent expressions of anger from across the barriers.

Rennes supporters only do their club a service in reputation by acting with humility and celebrating their club regardless of result.
