Jeremie Frimpong’s results at Celtic are possibly even more impressive than his performances.

Much has been made of Frimpong’s displays since coming into the Celtic team. He’s played against the likes of Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibernian, and now Hearts respectively. Venues such as Hampden, Pittodrie, and Tynecastle certainly haven’t seemed to frighten him.

However, what some may not know is that he extended a pretty incredible stat last night. In all of Frimpong’s 11 games in which he started, Celtic haven’t slipped up in any. 11 wins out of 11 is ridiculously impressive, with Celtic scoring 37 goals in those 11 games too (Transfermarkt).

Last night, he took to Tynecastle in what was always going to be another stern test of his capabilities. With Hatem Abd Elhamed still sidelined and Moritz Bauer still third-choice, it was always going to be Frimpong who got the Gorgie nod.

And there were question marks to be asked of him too after his struggles in our last away match against Ross County. Arguably, Frimpong’s ropey display in Dingwall was his worst for the club since breaking into the side.

No repeat – Frimpong wows again

Fortunately, Frimpong wasn’t having a repeat performance. There was no hesitancy in his directness. He knew that Aaron Hickey wasn’t going to get too adventurous going forward, so he didn’t have to worry too much about being caught out.

There was the odd occasion where he either took a heavy touch or one touch too many. Nothing was ever overly-dangerous, however. He didn’t concede a chance at goal, and didn’t make any glaring errors.

Tynecastle has always been a heated environment for Celtic to play in. Frimpong can take some more pleasure from the fact that he thrived in yet another big arena of Scottish football.

He wasn’t at his most influential best attacking wise, but he didn’t have to be. Celtic struck well on the counter, and he was still keen to offer himself as an option.

With someone of Frimpong’s bravery, it’s no wonder we’ve won every single game he’s played in. It’s also no coincidence either. He’s becoming a huge part of how we play, and it’s clear how much trust his teammates have in him.

He continues to run out of tests domestically. He’s proven he’s more than capable of handling any game in Scotland. It will be interesting to see if he can back it up in Europe.
