A section of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to express their delight after midfielder Olivier Ntcham bagged a goal in the Old Firm derby.
The 22-year-old netted the first goal following a lethal counter-attack from the Hoops, with James Forrest squaring for the young ace to slot the ball home.
Celtic hit the woodwork four times during the match, but their effort finally proved dividends as they got one over their bitter rivals with a 1-0 victory.
Some Celtic fans drooled over Ntcham’s display, with some comments including “miles ahead of anyone” and “absolute Rolls Royce of a player.”

OPINION
Celtic fans have every right to heap praise on the talented Ntcham, who was easily one of the best players on the pitch for the Hoops following their win. It is hard not to agree with their assessment of him, with one fan even remarking how he is a “class above everyone else”. Even though he is only young, Ntcham is easily one of the best players in the Scottish Premier League at the moment, and he is only going to get better and better with age. He will prove pivotal in Celtic’s bid to retain their league title, and if he continues to score goals like he is at the moment, then there will be no stopping him. It is not surprising that the Hoops’s support have come out in full force to to rave about Ntcham – and Rangers better watch out, as he is one of the obstacles standing in the way of their title bid.
