# Celtic: Fans tear into Lewis Morgan over his performance against Hamilton

**A number of Celtic supporters were left distinctly unimpressed with the performance of Lewis Morgan on Wednesday night.**

[Normally a left winger or midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lewis-morgan/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/311351), the 23-year-old played in a centre-forward role for Neil Lennon’s team [for the third game in succession](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lewis-morgan/leistungsdaten/spieler/311351) in the 2-1 win over Hamilton at Parkhead.

Despite being deployed as the Hoops’ most advanced player, he was unable to get on the scoresheet against Brian Rice’s men, being [withdrawn in favour of Leigh Griffiths in the 68th minute](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3201332).

Morgan had a part to play in the first goal on Wednesday, his 13th-minute shot being parried by Hamilton goalkeeper Luke Southwood straight to the onrushing Ryan Christie, who dispatched the ball to the net. \[[via BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50568345)\]

The 23-year-old’s performance met with less than stellar reviews with some reporters. Kade Kistner of [The Celtic Bhoys](https://thecelticbhoys.com/2019/12/05/celtic-player-ratings-vs-hamilton-2/3/) said: “The converted striker has had chances to prove why he belongs, but has not been able to capitalize”, while Hamish Carton of [67hailhail.com](https://www.67hailhail.com/news/celtic-player-ratings-vs-hamilton-home/) feels that the Hoops are “missing something when he’s up top”.

These Celtic fans on Twitter delivered somewhat more damning verdicts on Morgan’s display against Hamilton:
