How Celtic goal blitz cost two unlucky Footie5 punters from sharing £25k

Celtic boss Neil Lennon was buzzing on Saturday night after his Scottish Premiership table-toppers fizzed six of the best past Ross County.

But the Hoops' second-half goal blitz cost two hapless Footie5 punters a slice of the £25,000 prize money!

That's the big prize for correctly predicting five scores in thepools.com's free to enter game - the game in which you can even select which fixtures you want to predict.

And one player from Stockport and another from Cardiff correctly called four out of five fixtures spot on, including Liverpool's late draw at Old Trafford and Leicester's come from behind victory over Burnley .

They even had Celtic to win to nil against Ross County.

But one player predicted 2-0 and the other 3-0, then watched in dismay as Celtic blitzed four goals in nine second half minutes to win 6-0, go back top of the Premiership and scuppered their hopes of winning the big prize!

(PA)

A total of 43 Footie5 players did correctly predict Celtic to win 6-0 against Ross County - but not in tandem with the other four fixtures.

They'll be having another go this weekend.
