Unstoppable Arsenal Shatters Celtics Dreams!

To say this has not been the year of Celtic’s Gary Caldwell, would be an understatement. The Celtics were brutally beat by the unstoppable Arsenal leaving their captain, Gary Caldwell to admit they simply are ‘not good enough to beat them’.

Caldwell went on say that Arsenal had set the standard to where they have to get to… and hopefully fast.

However, Celtic owner, Tony Mowbray is still standing by his main man, Caldwell. Mowbray wants his team to hold their heads high, even after such a sever defeat.

The Celtics will get a chance to redeem themselves next week with another round with Arsenal … but can they pull it off???
