# Celtic: Fans react to Alan Power’s red card for latest challenge on Jeremie Frimpong

**A number of Celtic fans reacted on social media to a key incident from Sunday’s 3-1 win over Kilmarnock at Parkhead. As noted by [@CelticFC](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1231613831337697286) on Twitter, the visitors’ midfielder Alan Power was sent off in the 56th minute after receiving his second yellow card of the afternoon for a foul on Jeremie Frimpong.**

Ironically, that match was the Hoops right-back’s [first Premiership start in seven games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/leistungsdaten/spieler/484547) following an incident involving Power when the teams last met just over a month ago. On that night at Rugby Park, the Kilmarnock man put in “a crunching challenge”, in the words of [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5200449/kilmarnock-1-celtic-3-edouard-griffiths-jullien/)‘s Kenny MacDonald, on Frimpong which resulted in the Celtic youngster being [stretchered off](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5200449/kilmarnock-1-celtic-3-edouard-griffiths-jullien/).

Unsurprisingly, that incident [enraged a lot of Hoops fans](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premier/celtic/celtic-fans-left-shocked-over-foul-on-jeremie-frimpong-in-win-at-kilmarnock/) as well as Frimpong, who last week publicly condemned Power over the tackle (as per [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-star-jeremie-frimpong-blasts-21516128)). On Sunday, the 32-year-old was not so lucky, with referee Kevin Clancy showing him a second yellow card after he [slid in on the Celtic right-back](https://www.skysports.com/football/celtic-vs-kilmarnock/report/411383).

The incident got these Hoops fans on Twitter talking, with some accusing Power of having a personal grudge against Frimpong and others happy that the Kilmarnock man received his comeuppance over January’s flashpoint:
