# Celtic: Jeremie Frimpong helps fans move on from Kieran Tierney

**Celtic maintained their grip on top spot in the Scottish Premiership with a thumping [4-0 win over Aberdeen](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50113518) at Pittodrie on Sunday.**

Neil Lennon made a couple of changes and, with [Ryan Christie suspended,](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/celtic-v-lazio-a-welcome-distraction-for-banned-ryan-christie-1-5030483) Tom Rogic came in to provide the spark and ammunition for on-form forward, [Odsonne Edouard](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1194886/Odsonne-Edouard-Celtic-Neil-Lennon).

The second change, which was [greatly received by Hoops fans (looking at some of the reaction in the Sun)](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10223310/celtic-jeremie-frimpong-celebrations-aberdeen/), was the re-introduction of Jeremie Frimpong to the starting XI. Indeed, the diminutive full-back is seemingly fast becoming a real threat to regular first choice Hatem Elhamed.

Frimpong now has three first-team appearances for Celtic with a combined [aggregate score of 15-0](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/leistungsdaten/spieler/484547)and his direct style and attacking flair has done much to soothe the pain of Kieran Tierney’s absence after his [£25m departure to Arsenal.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49283667)

With that in mind, Celtic fans took to Twitter to show their love for the capture from [Manchester City](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/11801066/jeremie-frimpong-joins-celtic-from-manchester-city-on-four-year-deal).
