# Celtic: Fans complain about use of video format for team announcement on Twitter

**The announcement of the Celtic starting line-up and substitutes for Sunday’s Premiership fixture on the club’s official Twitter channel [@CelticFC](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1231575708411027456) drew complaints from plenty of Hoops fans – but not necessarily for the composition of the team chosen by Neil Lennon.**

Instead, it was the format chosen for the delivery of the team news for the home match against Kilmarnock which irked quite a few of the Parkhead faithful, with the line-up announced in a video format that illuminated each player’s name one-by-one along with displaying an image of the corresponding player.

Earlier this season, a number of Celtic supporters on social media [voiced their disgruntlement](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premier/celtic/celtic-fans-left-baffled-by-team-announcement-on-twitter/) with the club’s Twitter channel for announcing starting line-ups in numerical order rather than by playing position, making it trickier to decipher the tactical setup chosen by Lennon. However, as shown by the [video for Sunday’s starting XI](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1231575708411027456), their social media team now use positional rather than numerical order.

These Hoops fans on Twitter were not impressed with the video format and called for a more traditional method of announcing their team’s starting line-up:

> No. Never do this in video format again. Worse than the number order.
