Olivier Ntcham impressed for Celtic on Tuesday night.

Olivier Ntcham starred for Celtic in last night’s 2-1 win at Partick Thistle.

The French midfielder, a £4.5 million signing from Manchester City last summer, had arguably his best game in a Celtic shirt since joining.

Ntcham, who hasn’t always had it easy this season, looked to be at the heart of everything that the Hoops did well and, at 21, the powerful midfielder is only going to get better and better at Parkhead.

Brendan Rodgers’s side needed a 70th-minute winner from second-half substitute Leigh Griffiths to get over the line in their first Premiership game since the 0-0 draw with Rangers last month.

And Ntcham was quick to remind everyone that there are no easy games in the Scottish Premiership.

And suffice to say his performance went down well with the Celtic faithful.

Consistency is key for Ntcham. He has produced wonderful performances before and then failed to build on it, but supporters will be hoping this is a watershed moment in his Bhoys career.

If he can kick on from here then there’s no telling how good he can be under Rodgers.
