Philadelphia Union . . . 5 Montreal Impact . . . . . . 0
The famous old Celtic fan’s response to a colleague who consoled, “It was only a friendly,” after inquiring of his team’s pre-season defeat to Arsenal at Highbury a few years ago springs to mind. “CELTIC DINNAE’ (don’t) PLAY FRIENDLIES!!”
Well, thankfully after last evening, Montreal Impact do!
Had this been a full-strength Impact then the evening’s events in Florida would quite rightly be filed under the section “Catastrophy”.
As it was only one player (Jukka Raitala) begun the game from the pretty much, full-strength side that took to the field for the previous weekend outing against Tampa Bay Rowdies.
