TIMONTY WEAH’S enthusiasm is infectious. and his brilliant start to his time at Celtic will have delighted his team-mates back in Paris – indeed one or two on the fringes of things at the Parc des Princes in the 16th arrondissement of Paris may well even be tempted to sort out a loan move of their own.
Celtic Park, it seems, is regarded as a brilliant place to play your football…
Timo has been speaking to the media thus afternoon ahead of tomorrow’s latest home match, this time against Hamilton and you’ll get a sense of this enthusiasm that doing wonders for Celtic’s profile.
“The stadium and the supporters have been amazing but what’s struck me most is my team-mates here and how humble and accepting they are,” Timo said.
“They’ve treated as if they’ve known me forever. It’s the family feeling that this clubs gives you that I really appreciate.”
He goes on to praise the match day experience at Celtic Park and those amazing disco lights.
“Playing at Celtic Park is crazy,” Timo said.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. When the green light shines on that huddle it looks incredible,” and as he’s yet to start for Celtic, coming on and scoring in his first two games, he is looking forward to taking part in the huddle.
“I can’t wait to be in that huddle under the lights,” he enthused.
“I’m taking things day by day. I’m willing to do whatever the gaffer asks of me.
“I’d love to start but that’s not the main focus. The focus is competing, getting the wins and doing what’s best for the team.”
As for his goalscoring exploits – and boy, does he get himself into good positions (he could have had a hat-trick on Wednesday) – they have him buzzing!
“When I scored the goal it was just instant that told me to go and celebrate with the fans.
“There’s nothing I can describe that’s better than scoring at Celtic Park.”
And Weah is full of praise for The Celtic manager.
“Brendan Rodgers is like a father figure to all his players. He can build a player and teach you to become a man as well.
“As an 18-year-old you need that support from a coach and he’s really given me that,” Timo said.
Tell your mates in Paris, Timo, there’s a good Bhoy!
