Celtic supporters have praised Olivier Ntcham’s performance in the Champions League against Anderlecht.

Celtic picked up a highly impressive 3-0 victory in Belgium yesterday, with Ntcham playing a pivotal role in the match.

The former Manchester City midfielder released Kieran Tierney to set-up Leigh Griffiths for Celtic’s first goal with a brilliant through ball.

But things did not all go swimmingly for Ntcham on the night, with the Celtic man initially struggling to cope.

The 21-year-old had a difficult first-half during the contest, but Brendan Rodgers kept faith in the powerful midfielder and was rewarded.

And Celtic supporters have praised Ntcham for turning around what could have been a nightmare display.

Celtic’s victory over Anderlecht has put them into a very commanding position in their Champions League group now.

If the Bhoys are able to avoid defeat against Anderlecht at home, they appear very likely to at least qualify for the Europa League knockout stages.
