Read MoreCeltic fans were thrilled by Jeremie Frimpong's display in big win over Hamilton
Celtic youngster Jeremie Frimpong was one of the Bhoys’ dynamite performers today as Neil Lennon’s team got the Scottish Premiership campaign off to the perfect start.
The defending champions thrashed Hamilton 5-1 behind closed doors at Celtic Park, with the match broadcasted successfully on the new ‘Pass to Paradise’ system for season ticket holders, as well as Sky Sports.
It looked to be a strange atmosphere inside Paradise but the starting eleven didn’t let that get to them, starting brightly and eventually wearing the opposition down to go ahead through Odsonne Edouard.
The electric Frenchman would end up scoring a hat-trick, but not before Frimpong managed to score his third goal in total for the club.
Substitute striker Patryk Klimala also opened his account in a competitive setting to round off the scoring.
Greg Taylor was the man who assisted teenage wing-back Frimpong, crossing superbly so he could slot home with ease.
The 2019 Lennon signing has really made the position his own over the last 12 months and despite being impressed by Hatem Abd Elhamed on occasion, I can’t deny that Frimpong deserves every minute he plays in a Celtic shirt.
His joy for playing and the smile on his face when he does well is infectious and ends up putting a huge grin on my face too.

Jeremie Frimpong is comfortably the best right back in the league, and he’s only going to get better. Unlucky for Elhamed but brilliant for Celtic

Frimpong looks like he is Destined for greatness, Scott Brown is the perfect player, Celtic will have a black hole in midfield when he retires & Eddie looks like he can go on and play for anyone he wants.
Oh Celtic, how I’ve missed ye 💚
