Celtic fans were left fuming with the performance of the Hoops on Sunday afternoon, after Brendan Rodgers’ side lost 2-0 away to Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership.
With Kilmarnock winning on Saturday against Dundee, Celtic needed a result in Edinburgh to move to the top of the table but failed to produce a display that threatened Hibs much at all.
Substitute Lewis Morgan went closest, with his low effort going just past the post. Hibs though were already two up by that point and well on their way to the three points.
One player that annoyed fans more than most on the day was Olivier Ntcham, who failed to assert himself on the game at all across the 90 minutes.
The Frenchman was coming into the side due to an injury sustained by Ryan Christie but couldn’t match the intensity, attacking threat or work ethic of the Scottish international.
Celtic will need him to up his game over the next few weeks with big matches ahead and a lack of options to replace him.
These supporters took to Twitter to share their frustrations with his display…

I am not sure what the percentage is of how many bad games Ntcham has compared to good ones but I would hazard a guess it's heavily on the bad side

Ntcham aswell spineless and hasnt kicked a ball since we beat Rangers 1-0 missing his boyfriend

Clear to see Ntcham's heart isn't in it. Too slow and for a centre midfielder, he's quite lazy. Christie's ten times the player he is. More drive in him. Same can be said for Armstrong when he was here last season.

I left the Livi game first day of the season convinced Ntcham would win POTY unplayable on his day, today he looked like he wouldn't get into any team in the league, needs something to click and I have no idea what it is

Ntcham and Brown are not first picks anymore. Seriously need to bring in talent
