An Blistering Performance Today From Celtic And The Main Conclusions We Can Draw From It.

The manager knew exactly what he was doing putting Frimpong in the team

What a superb performance that was from young Jeremie Frimpong. I wondered at the start of the match, before the ball was kicked, if a star was going to be born today and by God one was. He was exceptional, playing with a lot of style and confidence and maturity.

That was as good a league debut as I can remember, particularly in the second half where he teased, tormented and pretty much tore Ross County apart.

He is a slight kid, this one, and some wondered if he looked too small perhaps for this league, but he went past players today like they weren’t even there. We didn’t get much chance to see him in a defensive role, but what he had to do in that capacity he did well.

Going forward he looks incredible. He has pace, awareness and the vision to make a pass.

He looks cool and calm under pressure at that end of the pitch.

Some of his cutbacks were absolutely out of this world, and the way he stopped, changed his footing and found the killer pass in the box a couple of times was brilliant to watch. Had this kid being playing in a match on TV all the talk afterwards would have been about him.

It was a pleasure to watch that today.

The manager knew exactly what he was doing throwing this kid into the team.
