Celtic fans have turned on Kris Commons after the former hoops midfielder turned on Moussa Dembele in his Daily Mail column.
There wasn’t much sympathy for the striker at the time as he took the slow walk off against Sevco on Saturday with Leigh Griffiths anxious to get on and break the deadlock.
Commons was scathing in his criticism but some Celtic fans have never forgiven him for his public row with Ronny Deila and John Collins away to Molde.

I must be the only one that sees nothing wrong with what kris commons said. Dembele walked off like it was his testimonial then goes up the tunnel to get showered. Fuck that.

Is Kris Commons trying to rival Andy Walker in the Biggest Uncle Tom stakes?

Amazing how quickly a former player can tumble down in fans’ estimations simply by talking utter shite. Step forward Kris Commons

Kris Commons with another negative article about Celtic… At least when he talks about disrespecting team mates its a topic he knows all about…
Walloper.. #mole— Rob ???????????????????????????? (@aarbee13) January 1, 2018
Kris commons done us a turn but IMO he’s a million miles from being a Celtic legend. The term legend gets used far too easily these days

Explaining his actions in Molde Commons wrote: “I infamously had my own dugout incident in 2015 after being substituted against Molde in a Europa League game. I regret it to this day and made a public apology for the disrespect I showed to the management team but on Saturday, Dembele was disrespecting his team-mates.”
Over the last few weeks there has been a big switch in the attitude of many Celtic fans to Dembele.
Last season’s eager new recruit has been replaced by someone injury prone that seems more interested in self protection than putting himself on the line for the benefit of the team.
Celtic have never expected the French u-21 internationalist to see out his four year contract but a move to Brighton or Stoke for less than £20m would have been unthinkable a year ago.
Every day of the transfer window will be closely monitored with most fans looking for a resolution to the matter regardless of whether it involves the player staying or moving.
