"In the first 15-20 minutes, the Czech Republic do not want to let Celtic get a goal." [caption id="attachment_229899" align="alignnone" width="1400"]Considering the fact that they're playing the Scotland team, it's probably fair to say that the Czech Republic are rather indifferent to whatever Celtic may be doing at that moment and time. Just to prove it wasn't a one-off and that Whelan is still as consistent as he was when he was lighting up Anfield or Lansdowne Road, the Irishman does it again.Ronnie Whelan represented Ireland at the Euros.

"Celtic are really struggling to break them down."https://twitter.com/EURO2020/status/1272469145683034114 You can't write about Ronnie Whelan however, and not mention his goal for Ireland at the Euros in 1988, especially as it was 33 years ago that his acrobatic effort flew into the net and sent the nation into a frenzy. Regardless of who he says is playing and who is actually playing, Whelan's place in Euros history will always be remembered, first and foremost, for this remarkable strike against the Soviet Union.... or was it Celtic?
