Tam McManus has praised Celtic manager Neil Lennon on Twitter for including Mohamed Elyounoussi in the starting lineup against Motherwell this afternoon.
The former Hibernian forward, who now works as a pundit for PLZ Soccer, believes that it was very good management from Lennon to keep the Southampton-owned winger in the team today.
The 26-year-old, who can also operate as a forward and is on loan from Southampton at the moment, was caught on camera checking his phone after his substitution during Celtic’s 4-1 defeat to Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
The Norway international scored a hat-trick for the Hoops today, as the Glasgow giants hammered Motherwell 4-1 away from home in the league.
Former Celtic striker Sutton has also praised the winger for his hat-trick today.
Title match
The win against Motherwell means that Celtic are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 29 points from 12 matches, six points behind leaders and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers, who have played 13 games.
It is a great way for the Hoops to go into the two-week international break.
