Celtic would have had a chance to move one step closer to the SPFL title on Saturday as St. Johnstone were due to be the visitors to Celtic Park, but for obvious reasons they were unable to do so.

In order to make up for the lack of action on the pitch, the club took to the virtual world to simulate how the match could have gone, using PES 2020 to replicate what may have unfolded in Glasgow.

The Bhoys ran out 4-0 winners in the match, with Leigh Griffiths notching twice, but despite it being a respite of light-hearted action after recent events, some supporters weren’t too keen on what they saw.

Many other clubs have done similar over the last week and have been met with praise and fan enjoyment, but Celtic fans clearly take a different view when it comes to such activity, as the tweets below indicate.

It is somewhat surprising to see such a response given there is little else the club can do to entertain supporters, particularly as it undoubtedly relieves stress for some during this period of hardship.

Anything to pass the time on a Saturday that would ordinarily be spent watching the Hoops should be encouraged, and though it is not the same club employees are still doing their best for the fans.
