Celtic were woeful in defeat this afternoon as Rangers dominated in an impressive 2-0 win at Parkhead.
Connor Goldson's double saw off a passive Hoops outfit on a day the hosts did not register a single shot on target throughout the 90 minutes. Neil Lennon's side had some trouble in the build-up to the game through Covid-19 and losing a handful of players who would usually have played including star midfielder Ryan Christie.
But the players who did play were nowhere near their usual selves and hardly provided an attacking threat.
Absolutely embarrassing for Celtic today. No shots on target in a #GlasgowDerby is an embarrassment - regardless of the circumstances.

Outperformed, outfought, outclassed.#HailHail #CelticFC #CelRan
Dire performance from Celtic today. Depressing that there was no passion or aggression. Dismal. #CELRAN

Fans, though unable to watch the game from the stands, were absolutely furious with their players on the back of the action and took to social media to blast their efforts.
One complained: "Dire performance from Celtic today. Depressing that there was no passion or aggression. Dismal." Another added: "Nae complaints, worthy Gers win. We were awful, u guys had a professional win. Any OF manager who has no shots on goal in a second half should be sacked in my book."
0 shots on target in a derby game, completely unacceptable. This performance has been coming, you can accept a defeat when there’s a wanting to win and you’re missing key players but that has nothing to do with that calamity. 😡 #CELRAN https://t.co/nesvh0DeOI

If Neil Lennon doesn’t walk then the @CelticFC board has to sack him.

There should be no coming back from this.
You just knew when he got the job we’d go backwards.
He is totally clueless. It looks like the players don’t want to play for him.#CELRAN
Worst performance against them I've ever seen. Can anyone remember worse? #CELRAN

A fourth snapped: "Clueless, woeful, shocking! All on Lennon again."
