# Celtic: Fans slam Jonjoe Kenny

**A number of Celtic supporters have hit out at Jonjoe Kenny on social media for his first half display against Hibernian on Saturday lunchtime.**

Interim boss John Kennedy made [two changes](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1393510421487890437/photo/1) from the side which [beat St Johnstone 4-0 on Wednesday](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56990118), with Greg Taylor and Callum McGregor coming in for Adam Montgomery and James Forrest respectively.

It looks set to be Kennedy’s final game in temporary charge, with recent [reports](https://talksport.com/football/879875/eddie-howe-new-manager-celtic-bournemouth-boss/) suggesting that Eddie Howe is in line to take over as manager for the 2021/22 season.

However, it was Kenny‘s performance in the opening stages at Easter Road which had a number of Celtic fans talking online, and not for the right reasons. The 24-year-old was making his [10th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonjoe-kenny/leistungsdaten/spieler/258883) Scottish Premiership start since joining [on loan from Everton](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55891435) and [16th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonjoe-kenny/leistungsdaten/spieler/258883) appearance in all competitions.

He was coming up against [Hibs winger Jamie Murphy in Edinburgh](https://www.sofascore.com/hibernian-celtic/cXseX), but some fans clearly think he is struggling on what is his final appearance of his temporary Parkhead stay. He went into the referee’s notebook after just 10 minutes, being [yellow-carded](https://www.skysports.com/football/hibernian-vs-celtic/442633) for an early foul on Murphy, and [failed to win a first half duel](https://www.sofascore.com/hibernian-celtic/cXseX).

### Celtic fans react

Here is what these Hoops supporters had to say about Kenny, with one describing his display as ‘so bad’ and another calling him a ‘donkey’, with this [not being the first time](https://thisisfutbol.com/2021/04/twitter/celtic-fans-slam-kennys-first-half-display/) that he has come under fire from the Parkhead faithful:
