Olivier Ntcham was back in action for Celtic yesterday and the fans loved seeing him back in green and white after the Frenchman missed the club’s last three Scottish Premier League clashes against Dundee, Hearts and Livingston, but he was finally back yesterday and in good form, as The Hoops disposed of Hamilton, winning 3-0 at the SuperSeal Stadium.

The Frenchman has been an important member of Brendan Rodgers’ side this season, making 22 appearances and netting five goals in those games. The young Frenchman has also been rewarded for his impressive form with Celtic over the last few seasons as he’s been a consistent member of the the France U21 squad, making 15 appearances and scoring one goal for his country’s age group side.
This season is Ntcham’s second at Parkhead after he swapped Manchester for Glasgow in summer 2017, making the move from Manchester City to Celtic for around £5 million in the pursuit of first-team football. The next step for Ntcham will be to make scoring goals a more regular thing as he aims to step it up and help The Hoops achieve progression in Europe and finally get that call-up to the French national squad.
