The experienced centre-back impressed for Celtic on Sunday.
Celtic started the defence of their Scottish Premiership title with a victory against Hearts on Sunday.
James Forrest opened the scoring for the Bhoys before James Walker equalised from a highly contentious penalty. But Scott Sinclair would make an immediate impact, signing for Celtic, coming off the bench and scoring the winner all on the same day.
While Sinclair obviously got the plaudits it was another recent addition that impressed at the opposite end of the field.
Kolo Toure recently reunited with Brendan Rodgers following his release from Liverpool, and the Ivorian looked a class act at the back.
He will bring some much needed experience to Celtic’s defence and if he can stay fit and available all season he could have a huge impact on the campaign as a whole.
After the match we took to Twitter to see what Celtic fans thought of Toure’s performance and you can read a selection of what we found below:
Big Toure strolled about that park for 90mins like he had the pipe & slippers on. Seemed to intercept everything that went near him.

On what I saw today Kolo Toure is going to be a quality signing for @celticfc. We have been needing a guy like him for a long long time!
