One of the most difficult parts of playing for Celtic is dealing with the immense pressure you are under week in and week out.
Two Celtic players – Kasper Hogh and Sebastian Tounekti – are feeling that heat right now, but they are getting a different reaction from the supporters.
Hogh has only scored in one game for Celtic, added to the fact that he is the club’s record transfer, which just makes matters worse.
But Tounekti has been at Celtic since last summer, and his issues don’t just stem from this current campaign, which is probably why fans are harsher on him.
Clyde 1 presenter Gordon Duncan argued that the reason why Celtic supporters are still backing Hogh is because of ‘the work’ he is putting in.
That could be a valid argument because one of the criticisms aimed at Tounekti, aside from what he does or even doesn’t do on the ball, is how soft, slow and passive he is without it.
Either way, there is one thing getting verbally battered by those from the outside, but when your own supporters get on your back, as Tounekti found out in midweek, then it’s brutal and far more difficult to stomach.
But despite Keevins’ claims, the rest of the Clyde 1 panel can’t see it turning that way for Hogh any time soon despite his abject form.
Hugh Keevins: “The time is going to come, I fear, with Kasper Hogh, when the crowd do a Tounekti on him.”
Scott Allan: “Nah, I don’t think so, because Hogh works.”
Gordon Duncan: “Do you know what? Against Beşiktaş, Hogh got a good reception because of the work.”
Keevins: “That’s sympathy.”
Duncan: “Well, Tounekti didn’t get it.”
Keevins: “That’s dislike.”
