‘Celtic, Yes!’ – Micah Richards reveals why he’s buzzing for the Bhoys

Right now, Celtic supporters have every reason to be thrilled, and who could blame them? The Hoops supporters are witnessing their team put on some elite performances in the Champions League for the first time in many years. The agonizing recollections of Brendan Rodgers’ team giving up seven goals against Borussia Dortmund on matchday two, which now appears to be an anomaly, are far removed from this.
Despite an early loss to RB Leipzig this week, Celtic’s performance was outstanding and demonstrated their increasing self-assurance on the biggest platform in Europe.

This latest triumph is another sign of Celtic reaching new heights, thriving within the revamped Champions League structure that suits them perfectly. Before the competition’s kickoff, many believed this format could play into Celtic’s strengths, and now those expectations are being realised with four more matchdays to come.

Carragher and Richards Applaud Celtic’s European Rise

A 36-team league table that alters every matchday as a result of the Champions League’s modifications has added a new level of intrigue. Your club’s standing could be directly impacted by two clubs you won’t play against, and things could get pretty exciting as the games progress into the second half. On CBS Sports, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards reviewed the standings in their typical humorous manner, complete with dancing and music.
Due to their outstanding play, Celtic is now in 15th place, two points behind Barcelona in sixth. In fact, they have more points than Real Madrid. The pundit pair has observed that Celtic’s fortunes have improved as a result of the new format.

“You’re happy with Celtic,” Carragher teased Richards, referencing his co-host’s connection to former Manchester City teammate Kasper Schmeichel.

Richards, beaming with enthusiasm, responded: “Celtic. Yes! That’s why we like the new format. Celtic, absolutely brilliant.”

It’s great to see the buzz surrounding the Bhoys in Europe. With momentum firmly behind them, there’s a growing sense that anything is possible in the weeks ahead.
