COMMENTARY

Many Celtic fans raved about Odsonne Edouard when he featured against Hearts in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday, especially after he scored from the penalty spot. Neil Lennon’s side went 1-0 down during the match against Hearts but it didn’t take long for them to get back on level terms as Eduoard won a penalty and then converted the spot-kick. Eduoard then went one better by scoring in the 82nd minute to make it 2-1 and see the Hoops beat Hearts to the Scottish Cup. Many Celtic fans raved about how Eduoard coped with the pressure, as missing the kick probably would have crushed the team’s spirit; while others just wanted to declare their love for him. Interestingly one Hoops fan claimed that the 23-year-old had justified his price tag, Celtic paid £9million to sign him permanently last summer (Source: Sky Sports), as they said paying that fee was worth it after Eduoard scored. The 21-year-old is leading the club’s scoring charts for the 2018/19 season (Source: BBC) so it should be no surprise that he was cool once again in front on goal on Saturday.
