Odin Thiago Holm and Yang Hyun-Jun look like two terrific bits of business by the club this summer. Both of them have only played fleetingly since their arrival but you can just tell they have got something about them.
Both introduced themselves to the Celtic support on Tuesday night and produced a solid display in their second half showing against Athletic club. Brendan Rodgers handed them their competitive debuts on Saturday as they made their bows as substitutes in the 4-2 victory over Ross County that put Celtic three points clear of the summer sensations who lost at Kilmarnock, which of course means that Clyde’s Superscoreboard show will be highly entertaining this evening! No Celtic callers please! Give them the stage.

Holm looks calm and composed on the ball, and can pick a pass. He oozes confidence for one so young, he looks like a player that can reach the very top. It’s early days but sometimes you just know a player has something about them, and Holm certainly does.
The same can be said of Yang. The South Korean looks a very skilful player indeed. He has a great touch and has enough confidence in his ability to take players on, which he can do no problem at all. He looks like he’s going to be a crowd pleaser, a real entertainer.
I expect both players to contribute more in the coming season. Yes it’s early days, but the signs are promising. It looks like our scouting network have yet again unearthed a couple of gems.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
