Celtic: Fans destroy Moritz Bauer for wasteful Europa League display vs CFR Cluj
Lots of Celtic fans are slamming the Thursday night performance of Moritz Bauer, as the Bhoys lost 2-0 in their dead rubber match in Romania.
Neil Lennon deployed a heavily rotated Hoops side to face CFR Cluj on Thursday night – his side had of course already qualified for the knockout stages at the top of their group.
Unfortunately though, very few of the fringe players took their chance to impress, and perhaps none were more disappointing than Bauer.
Signed by Lennon on a season-long loan this summer, the Austrian defender has rarely been seen, playing just 644 minutes of action so far this campaign.
We saw exactly why on Thursday, as he lost possession a whopping 17 times, per Sofascore, racking up just a 6.4 out of 10 rating on the stats site.
He only won four duels in the match, and completed just 56% of his passes, only managing to muster up 17 successful passes despite being on the pitch for the full 90 minutes.
You can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below, where fans are crucifying his display…
