Celtic Manager Neil Lennon praised “class act” David Turnbull following Celtic’s sixth successive victory yesterday afternoon. The Hoops were in the mood with another 3-0 victory, as they look to recover the league campaign.
Turnbull, the Bhoys’ £3m summer signing from Motherwell, scored for the third game running after Ismaila Soro’s stunning opener. And speaking to the BBC, Lennon said: “He’s (Turnbull) hit the ground running now.”
“He had to wait a wee while to get to the pace of how we want him to play, but now he’s in excellent form. There’s no reason for me to leave him out.”
Fans had been calling to see Turnbull in action for several months before he was finally given an opportunity against Lille in the Europa League. The 21 year old scored double figures for Motherwell last season and showed impeccable determination to fight back to fitness after his long term injury. Now that he’s been given an opportunity to play, it’s really starting to pay dividends.
