Celtic boss praises West Brom loanee.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has praised West Brom loanee Oliver Burke.
Burke scored two goals in Celtic’s 4-0 victory over St Mirren.
It was a dream way for Burke to mark his Scottish Premiership debut.
Celtic boss Rodgers hailed Burke as ‘phenomenal’ speaking after the game.
It’s not the first time Rodgers has used the word ‘phenomenal’ to describe Burke.
The Celtic boss told The Mail earlier this month he viewed Burke’s attributes as phenomenal when he watched him in action for Nottingham Forest back in 2016.
Two transfer moves to Red Bull Leipzig and West Brom have subsequently seen Burke struggle, prompting the Baggies to send him out on loan to Celtic.
He is off to a great start and Rodgers clearly believes he is watching the player he saw light up the Championship at the City Ground two-and-a-half years ago.
