According to WhoScored, the youngster took one shot, played four key passes, had a pass accuracy of 92.2%, won two headers, took 69 touches, and made three tackles, one interceptions and two clearances.

Jiri Jarosik eyes Celtic return

Meanwhile, Jiri Jarosik has said that he would love to manage Celtic in the future.

The 41-year-old former Czech Republic international was on the books of the Glasgow giants from 2006 until 2008.

Jarosik told The Scottish Sun: “When I am ready, I hope to have more experiences and, of course, managing Celtic one day would be perfect.

“Let’s not get carried away. I’d love to have a top coaching career and Glasgow is a great football city. But I need to take things step by step. I have a long way to go, but a return to Celtic in the future? Why not?”
