However, it was announced today that Turnbull has won the Premiership Player of the Month title for December. The 21-year-old has scored 3 goals and set up 2 (WhoScored?). His blistering form contributed to a turnaround of Celtic’s form last month.
Alongside Ismaila Soro, Turnbull has proved a very popular figure in the Green and White. In Lennon’s diamond formation, the Celtic midfield has looked rejuvenated, with both aforementioned youngsters bringing energy to the middle of the park.

First of many. Terrific talent

If NL thinks of taking any credit, had he played him, Turnbull would also have been player of the month, September, October and November.
