It’s no longer just about the result.
Hours after the final whistle at Celtic Park, the noise hasn’t died down — it’s getting louder.
What started as frustration has now turned into something far more uncomfortable for Celtic FC and their No.1, Kasper Schmeichel.
Fans aren’t just disappointed.
They’re questioning.
They’re debating.
And some are demanding answers.
The Moment That Shifted Everything
Supporters watched it unfold in real time.
The hesitation.
The positioning.
The reaction.
For a goalkeeper of Schmeichel’s experience, fans expected command. Instead, social media exploded within minutes.
By full-time, the conversation wasn’t just about tactics or the defence.
It was about him.
And now — hours later — that conversation is getting sharper.
Kris Boyd’s Words Are Coming Back
Before this match, former striker and pundit Kris Boyd didn’t hold back when discussing Schmeichel’s form.
In a previous analysis, Boyd questioned the goalkeeper’s decision-making and suggested he looked uncertain — comments that divided opinion at the time.
Many Celtic fans dismissed it.
Tonight?
Those same comments are being reshared everywhere.
Screenshots. Quotes. Reaction clips.
Some fans are now asking:
“Was Boyd right?”
And that’s where this story becomes bigger than one bad night.
The Divide Inside the Fanbase
Scroll through Facebook groups and you’ll see it instantly:
🗣 “He’s cost us.”
🗣 “Overreaction — he’s saved us plenty.”
🗣 “Time to look at other options.”
🗣 “Back him. Always.”
This isn’t unified anger.
It’s a split.
And splits are dangerous.
Because once doubt creeps in around a goalkeeper, it doesn’t disappear overnight.
Body Language That Sparked Debate
During the post-match interview, fans noticed something.
Was it frustration?
Deflection?
Disbelief?
Some interpreted it as calm professionalism.
Others saw something else entirely.
And when a goalkeeper says something along the lines of “I have no idea what they wanted me to do” — even if taken out of context — it spreads like wildfire.
Now the question isn’t just about the goals conceded.
It’s about confidence.
Leadership.
Authority.
Why This Feels Bigger Than One Game
Celtic Park has seen tough nights before.
But this one feels different because:
Fan unrest has already been simmering.
Pundits are circling.
Social media is amplifying every mistake.
When you combine performance questions with outside criticism and online pressure, the spotlight intensifies fast.
And right now, it’s firmly on Schmeichel.
So What Happens Next?
Do Celtic rally around their No.1?
Does the manager publicly shut down the noise?
Or does this become the beginning of a longer conversation about the future between the posts?
Because make no mistake — this isn’t fading quietly.
It’s escalating.
