# Celtic: Fans react to Boli Bolingoli’s comments about Scott Brown

**Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli has sung the praises of team-mate and captain Scott Brown, hailing the midfielder’s leadership and motivation qualities.**

Speaking with [@CelticTV](https://twitter.com/CelticTV/status/1169287143069499392), the 24-year-old used phrases such as “big leader”, “legend” and “a real captain” in describing Brown.

Bolingoli added that he looks up to Brown and cited the Scotland international’s combative nature in last weekend’s derby win, adding that he sees the 33-year-old midfielder as an amiable person away from the field of play. \[[via @CelticBible](https://twitter.com/celticbible/status/1169294973470236672?s=21)\]

The Belgian left-back [came to Celtic this summer from Rapid Vienna](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48861383) and, after [featuring in the Glasgow derby](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-celtic/teams/411242) last Sunday, he has now played in [12 of the Hoops’ 13 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/boli-bolingoli/leistungsdaten/spieler/168156) so far this season.

Bolingoli came in for some criticism for his early performances at Celtic Park, with [Football Scotland](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/james-forrest-heroics-boli-bolingolis-16717868) writer Jonathan McFarlane saying that he “[will have to sharpen up considerably](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/james-forrest-heroics-boli-bolingolis-16717868)“.

However, he now seems to be settling into the side, with [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/11800070/rangers-0-2-celtic-player-ratings-odsonne-edouard-shines-again-as-rangers-struggle) reporter Allan Valente describing his performance at Ibrox as “[composed](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/11800070/rangers-0-2-celtic-player-ratings-odsonne-edouard-shines-again-as-rangers-struggle)“.

These Celtic fans on Twitter loved the defender’s comments about Brown:

> After being hounded by the Scottish MSM when he was just in the door five minutes, his star is beginning to shine. Outstanding on Sunday.
