The French midfielder really struggled for Celtic today.
Celtic fans on Twitter are slating Olivier Ntcham for his performance at Hibernian this afternoon.
Ntcham was an unused substitution in Celtic’s last two games, but Neil Lennon brought him back into the first XI for the trip to Easter Road.
But it’s probably fair to say that the Frenchman – a £4.5 million signing in 2017 [BBC Sport] – did not vindicate Lennon’s decision to start him.
Ntcham looked off the pace from the very beginning and struggled with his range of passing.
The former Manchester City midfielder also found himself being often dispossessed during a terrible first-half on an individual level.
Lennon hauled him off for Tom Rogic on the hour mark and here’s how Celtic fans reacted to his display:
For whatever reason, the 23-year-old hasn’t looked the same player since Brendan Rodgers quit the Hoops in February.
Before today, Ntcham only had two appearances under Lennon but neither were particularly convincing, hence why he was benched for the last two games.
On his day, he is certainly a class act but Celtic have a question to ask themselves coming into the summer transfer window: is it worth keeping him?
