What an impact this lad is having. When young players move to the Scottish Premiership from south of the border, you never know how they are going to fare. While some go on to star, others never make much of an impact.
This lad definitely seems like he is going to fall under the former category. Jeremie Frimpong may only be at Celtic for a matter of weeks, but he already looks like a hell of a prospect.
The 18-year old right back signed from Manchester City on a four-year contract earlier this year and has forced his way into the first team. He registered an assist in his first appearance, before going on to grab his first goal this afternoon.
It came during a routine 4-0 win for Celtic at Aberdeen, with the youngster scoring the second of the game in the 15th minute. Frimpong slipped Edouard in behind with a nice pass, before receiving the return and steering it home. You could see what it meant to him.
After the full time whistle, Frimpong was the one leading the celebrations in front of the visiting support.

Frimpong was born in Amsterdam and has been capped by The Netherlands at U19 level. He is also eligible to play for Ghana and England.
Speaking to BT Sport after the game today, he was still on cloud nine.
While he may only be at the club for a short time, Frimpong is quickly establishing himself as a fan favourite amongst Celtic supporters.
Jeremie Frimpong has played in 3 games for Celtic. The current aggregate score in they 3 games is 15-0
Holy shmokes, 18 year old 👏⚽— 🍀 (@I967_) October 27, 2019
