Jonjoe Kenny has come into this Celtic team and gave them sum much needed balance on the right hand side of defence.
The Everton loanee has played three and won three, so far for the bhoys.
The media are trying to stitch him up this morning when they’ve asked him about Celtic’s season before he got here. Headlines of ‘what’s all the fuss about’ while referring to losing the ten is what Celtic fans have woken up to.
Jonjoe has only been here five minutes and will not understand the magnitude of this season or what it meant to supporters.
All the defender can see is a club who have won everything for so long — it’s perfectly understandable. The media trying to portray the player in a bad light and get Celtic fans to jump on his back about comments is typical from a section in this country.
Kenny speaks well of the team and even gives an insight into the atmosphere in the dressing room.
The right-back is only here until May, but could Celtic look to make it permanent, the jury is out.
Here are Kenny’s full comments from RecordSport:
He said: “I don’t think Celtic need to prove anything. They’ve won nine league titles, Nine In A Row, Trebles.
“There’s a big fuss going round but what can you expect? You’re making a big deal out of one season.
“It wasn’t even one season, it was six months.
“But I think for us as a team, and for the fans who support us, we want to go out and prove to ourselves just how good we are and try and give everyone a little bit of a buzz.
“We want to finish on a little bit of a high and that’s all we can really do right now.
“You can’t forget what this team have done over nine seasons. They have won trophy after trophy and that’s the standard the club have set.
“A drop in form is only natural. Things like that are going to happen in life – not everything will be perfect.
“We can’t forget what the club and the players have achieved.
“Okay, everyone has had a little bit of a dip but we can’t forget how much quality is in this team and how good they’ve been.”
“The atmosphere is really good. We’ve won three games and scored 10 goals so I think the confidence is getting better.
“It’s normal. It’s human that, when you have a little dip, confidence goes. I’ve been there before, it does happen.
“But that’s football. Not everything is going to be perfect all the time.
“It’s just understanding that you have to rebuild the confidence and don’t get ahead of yourself.
“You have to take it day by day, game by game — that’s how you build yourself back up.
“It’s just confidence. Once you get a win after a win, it always helps.
“I can only speak for when I have been here but everyone at the club, from the physios, staff and chefs, have been brilliant. From what I’ve seen, the club have been outstanding and are always striving to be the best.”
