VIDEO: Perhaps those Lionel Messi to Celtic rumours were not so crazy after all

A stunning goal at Paradise

Tiki taka masterpiece.

Only two weeks ago, we marvelled at Lionel Messi’s glowing praise for Celtic and their fervent legions of support. The Barcelona forward declared Celtic Park as the ground with the best atmosphere he has ever played in.

Many media outlets suggested Messi could be tempted to Glasgow in the autumn of his career. Those links do not seem so outlandish after a couple of cracking goals at Celtic Park last night.

Scott Brown finished off a sweeping team move, which involved all 11 Celtic teammates, to double his side’s lead in a 5-0 win over Dundee.

Later in the match, Nir Britton curled in an absolute peach.

The Scottish champions are now only one win away from retaining their league title.
