Hyper Weah’s Absolutely Buzzing after scoring in Paradise

‘TIMOTHY WEAH? reminds me of his Da,” was one of the comments on our supporters bus on the way back from Paradise this evening. The young American star was a hot topic of conversation after he came on to replace Scotty Sinclair to grab the third goal of the afternoon in the Scottish Cup 4th round win over Airdrie.

And the teenager himself was also buzzing after getting his first goal for Celtic – and how he celebrated!

“That’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and have ever played in,” Timothy said to the Celtic media team.

“The Celtic fans, when I scored, it was like something out of a dream. Even when Scott scored, you could feel the fans, how they really are, and I’m really honoured and blessed to be here.

“It’s always a good feeling to get that first goal on the books, and now I can go on to the next game with a bit more confidence.

“It’s now time for me to get back to training, continue to work on my finishing, and continue to work on gelling with the boys, even better than we have now, and just listening to all the info the gaffer’s given me, and paying attention to all the guys in training.

“I’m really happy, and it’s now it’s just a step-by-step for me. The first goal is out of the way, and now it’s about continuing to get more and to try and work harder.”

And Weah with one in the bag, is already hungry for more.

“It’s an amazing welcome, and as you can see with my celebration, I already love the club, and I feel honoured and blessed to even have this opportunity.

“Going from a team that I didn’t play as much, to come here and to be accepted by the fans, the players and the coaching staff is an amazing feeling and that makes me want to give everything out on the field, and leave my blood, sweat and tears on the pitch for the crest.

“There’s always pressure to get that first goal, and you want to start off really good.

“Getting it on my debut, I’ve never done that before and that’s a blessing. I now need to focus on the next game and try to get another one, or an assist for my team, and work hard for the win.”
