OLIVIER NTCHAM scored the second goal in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden in May to effectively secure the Double Treble and he celebrated in style, performing an impressive back flip. Recalling that day and that rather special goal celebration, the French Under 21 International said to the guys at The Celtic View:
“I’ve been able to do flips like that since I was around 13 or 14-years-old.
“I learned by myself when I used to do breakdancing with my older brother when I was really young.
“I wouldn’t do it every time I score. It depends if the goal is really good or if it is on a big occasion. Moussa knew I could do that but I don’t think anyone else did so maybe they didn’t expect it. I don’t practice doing that, it’s just something which has stayed with me since I did breakdancing many years ago.”
Ntcham has two goals to his name this season already – the strike against Rosenborg and the spot kick against Livingston – and he’s quite prepared to be a regular penalty taker for the side this season.
“It was a good way to start the season at Celtic Park,” Ntcham said.
“Winning and getting three points at home is the most important thing. We know there are areas which we must improve on,and we will work on them, but we have to win, even if we make mistakes.
“It was the manager who decided that I take penalties, so I am happy to do so whenever I am asked. I don’t get nervous when talking penalties so I am comfortable to step up whenever I am asked.”
