Names of the (3) Three Celtic players who performed the most during the friendly win against Sligo Rovers (2-3)

Celtic had a friendly fixture against Sligo Rovers in Ireland to fulfill, despite the fact that the international break was in full flow.

As Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to the Hoops’ Irish origins, Celtic announced the friendly against Sligo Rovers in early September.

Brendan Rodgers made significant alterations to the Celtic team that was selected to face Sligo Rovers, as it was vastly different from the one that defeated Ross County on Sunday.

Celtic claimed an early lead in the first half of a game that began brightly. Luis Palma found himself free at Sligo’s back post and scored from six yards.

Nevertheless, the League of Ireland team responded with two fast goals, ensuring that Scott Bain will be eager to forget the evening.

Kailon Barlow’s long-range effort in the 12th minute was fumbled by Celtic’s third-choice goalkeeper, resulting in a stalemate for Sligo.

Simon Power’s impressive strike from a distance was intercepted by Bain at his near post, resulting in the Irish team taking the lead. The Celtic goalkeeper’s initial appearance of the season was evidently marred by rustiness.

Palma scored his second goal in the 86th minute, and the Honduran sealed the victory with his hat-trick in the 93rd minute, securing a 3-2 victory for Celtic. The team continued to press and investigate, and a late equalizer was finally achieved.

In the Sligo Rovers victory, Celtic’s Luke McCowan, Luis Palma, and Hyunjun Yang impress.
Brendan Rodgers afforded numerous young Celts the chance to demonstrate their capabilities; however, only a handful of them took advantage of the opportunity.

Lenny Agbaire had a decent fifteen minutes in the second half, pushing forward with Hyunjun Yang, and Sean McArdle did well after coming on as a 61st-minute substitute. He appeared strong at moments.

However, Luis Palma, Hyunjun Yang, and Luke McCowan were the most notable.

Palma scored three goals for Celtic and appeared energetic and enthusiastic during the initial ten minutes. The Celtic winger’s highlights in the second half included a long-range free kick that was just off target, as well as some solid wing play.

Hyunjun Yang appeared at ease and unafraid to confront the Sligo full backs, as the South Korean sought to demonstrate to the Celtic manager that he possesses the necessary skills to secure a position in the first team.

McCowan was exceptional in the Celtic midfield, where he controlled the game by directing the play through effective distribution and interaction with the Hoops front line.

For the time being, Rodgers will return to Glasgow to continue resting his first team players during the international break and preparing for Celtic’s upcoming seven fixtures as domestic and European business resumes.
