Saint-Etienne fans were in awe of Jakob Breum’s performance at Ibrox on Wednesday night.
Breum’s name is now one of infamy among the Celtic support, with Parkhead chiefs having chased the midfielder over multiple transfer windows.
Go Ahead Eagles’ sporting director publicly mocked Celtic’s lowball offers last summer, and despite the interest remaining over the last 12 months, the midfielder joined the Ligue 2 side for £2 million earlier this month.
Breum scored in an eventual 2-1 friendly defeat, and had fans swooning over his display.
Controlled? Is McInnes deluded?

@Duffitse_ couldn’t believe that his club had got their hands on the Dane, asking: “How did we end up with Breum!?
“This guy’s got absolutely no business in Ligue 2, he’s way too strong”.
@noxew42 agreed: “What the hell is Breum doing coming to Le Forez [Saint-Etienne’s district]? What did they promise him?”
Hilariously, @mlvngrzdr even compared him favourably to Lionel Messi, saying: “Breum wouldn’t give Lionel Messi the time of day.”
He even earned the plaudits of Rangers fans, with @alexjg0 writing at half-time: “How was Jakob Breum allowed to go to Ligue 2 for £2 million?
“Best player on the park by a mile”.
Finally, @AndalouJrme wrote: “Who’s this Breum guy? He doesn’t have any business being in Ligue 2, football looks so easy for him”.
