In a dramatic turn of events following Celtic’s intense 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich, the footballing landscape of Scotland has erupted with fervent reactions from fans and pundits alike. The catalyst for this uproar? A leaked audio conversation involving Rangers manager Philippe Clement and Bayern Munich’s esteemed coach, Vincent Kompany. The content of this conversation appears to have struck a nerve with Celtic supporters, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for accountability

The conversation, which was allegedly recorded without Clement or Kompany’s knowledge, has been circulated widely on social media and has sparked outrage among Celtic fans.

In the audio, Clement is heard discussing tactics and player performances with Kompany, with both managers expressing frustration at their teams’ performances in the match but congratulating the Bayern Munich side for 1:1 draw against Celtic.

Vincent: “, tough match against Celtic. We were lucky to come away with a draw.” Can’t deny it though they are good” they have good player”

Clement: “Yeah, it was a close one. Your defense held up well though, can’t say the same but the good news is it ends up draw.”

Vincent: “Thanks, mate.. We’ll have to work on our finishing for the next match.”

Clement: “Agreed. Let’s learn from this and come back stronger. Good luck for your next game.”

Vincent: “Thanks, Likewise, best of luck to you. Until next time.”

Celtic fans have taken offense to Clement’s candid remarks about his players, with many accusing the Rangers boss of disrespecting the club and its supporters.

“Philippe Clement’s comments in that audio are completely unacceptable,” said one Celtic fan on instagram . “He should know better as a manager especially after Celtic game against Bayern . He needs to apologize immediately.”

Others have called for Clement to be disciplined by Rangers for his remarks, with some even demanding that he be sacked.

“Philippe Clement has shown a complete lack of respect for Celtic and its fans,” said another Celtic supporter. “Rangers need to take action against him and show that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”

However, the backlash from Celtic fans shows no sign of subsiding, with many calling for Clement to be held accountable for his remarks.

“It’s unacceptable for a Rangers manager to be speaking in such a manner about Celtic,” said one fan. “We demand an apology and appropriate action to be taken against Philippe Clement.”

As the controversy continues to unfold, the focus will now turn to how Rangers and Clement will address the situation in the coming days and weeks. The fallout from the leaked audio conversation will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on both clubs and their respective fan bases.

Callum McGregor: Players were outstanding against a top European side

Callum McGregor once again produced a top-class display on the European stage as Celtic went toe-to-toe with Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena.

And the Hoops were only seconds away from taking the German giants to extra-time in their UEFA Champions League play-off when they conceded a goal which put Bayern through on aggregate.

It was a heartbreaking end to a game that Brendan Rodgers’ side had played so well in, and the Celtic captain said that the players have to take the positives from their performance on this stage.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, Callum McGregor said: “We performed really well on the night but we didn’t get what we deserved in the game.

“The players were outstanding, the game-plan was perfect and the template of the game was perfect for us, but sometimes football is cruel and you don’t get what you deserve.

“However, the players should feel pride based on that type of performance, which was outstanding, so we want to take the positives from that, bank this whole experience of the Champions League and be better for it again next year.”

Celtic went into the game in Munich trailing 2-1 from the first leg at Celtic Park, but on the night they were more than a match for Bayern, creating numerous chances before Nicolas Kuhn opened the scoring in the second-half.

That goal put the Hoops ahead on the night and level on aggregate, but in the last seconds of added time, Alphonso Davies bundled the ball over the line to equalise and deny Celtic extra-time.

“It is a real sore one and the boys will be down for a couple of days,” said McGregor, “but it’s important that we don’t dwell on it for too long.

“We have a big game at the weekend and now we’re chasing down the league and there’s still a cup to play for as well, so we have to get this out the system as quick as we possibly can, take the positives form it and remember that feeling as well.

“It’s never nice to lose games of football and especially when you do a lot right and you don’t get what you deserve, then you try and harness that feeling and turn it into a positive.

‘And now we just attack the rest of the season with the league and the cup.’

“The growth in the players and the team, even from game one right through to game 10 has been outstanding and there’s a real maturity about the way we’re playing the game now at this level.

“You have to understand that you have to suffer without the ball sometimes but it’s never for too long.

“We’re always trying to nudge ourselves up the pitch, be compact and press at the right times.

“We’ve got some experienced players but there are also some young ones in there as well, and they’re learning all the time as well, the team is growing all the time at this level and when you come and give a performance like that against a top club, then it should give everyone a big shot in the arm for next season.”
