New Celtic signing Timothy Weah has told the Glasgow Evening Times that Brendan Rodgers has been ‘amazing’ with him so far.

Weah is one of three signings that Celtic have made so far this month, and the striker made a big impression on debut at the weekend.

Weah came off the bench for Celtic to score in their 3-0 victory over Airdrieonians in the Scottish Cup.

The PSG loanee latched on to a through ball before finishing neatly under the goalkeeper to round off the scoring.

And Weah says that he has been very impressed with everything at Parkhead since moving to Celtic.

“I have been so impressed with everything,” Rodgers said. “The gaffer has been amazing and my new team-mates have been great and I feel settled here already.

“It makes it easy then to go out and play football.”

Weah’s goal now gives Rodgers a selection dilemma at Celtic, as he looks for who to pick up-front.

Weah appears to be in battle with Odsonne Edouard for a first-team spot up-front, although the two could also play together if Rodgers adapts his system slightly.

Celtic are next in action on Wednesday’s evening when they take on St. Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.
