‘Celtic, Yes!’ – Micah Richards Reveals Why He’s Buzzing for the Bhoys

Celtic fans have every reason to feel ecstatic at the moment, and who could blame them? For the first time in years, the Hoops’ faithful are watching their team deliver some top-tier performances in the Champions League. It’s a far cry from the painful memories of Brendan Rodgers’ side conceding seven against Borussia Dortmund on matchday two, which now looks like an aberration.

This week, despite an early setback against RB Leipzig, Celtic’s display was nothing short of dominant, underscoring their growing confidence on Europe’s biggest stage.

This latest triumph is another sign of Celtic reaching new heights, thriving within the revamped Champions League structure that suits them perfectly. Before the comPetition’s kickoff, many believed this format could play into Celtic’s strengths, and now those expectations are being realised with four more matchdays to come.

Carragher and Richards Applaud Celtic’s European Rise

The changes to the Champions League have introduced a 36-team league table that updates with every matchday, adding a fresh layer of excitement. Two teams playing who you won’t face could have a direct impact on where your club sits and as we move to the second half of the fixtures, it could get really interesting. Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, on CBS Sports, took their usual light-hearted approach to reviewing the standings with dancing and music involved.

Celtic’s impressive form has propelled them to 15th place, just two points shy of Barcelona in sixth. They even have more points on the board than Real Madrid. The pundit duo has noted the positive impact of the new format on Celtic’s fortunes.

“You’re happy with Celtic,” Carragher teased Richards, referencing his co-host’s connection to former Manchester City teaMMAte Kasper Schmeichel.

Richards, beaming with enthusiasm, responded: “Celtic. Yes! That’s why we like the new format. Celtic, absolutely brilliant.”

It’s great to see the buzz surrounding the Bhoys in Europe. With momentum firmly behind them, there’s a growing sense that anything is possible in the weeks ahead.
