UEFA have just put Benjamin Nygren back in the spotlight and it reminds Celtic of why the Swede is so important to the team right now.
Nygren had an excellent maiden season for Celtic in front of goal as he scored 21 and created nine as the Hoops ended the year with a league and Scottish Cup double.
So good was Nygren that Celtic saw his value soar as he continued to perform for club and country. And now, a tweet from UEFA sends the Parkhead club a little reminder of just how important the Swede could be next season.
Should Celtic take a £4m punt on Haissem Hassan?
Benjamin Nygren destroyed Fenerbahce and UEFA have shared it
Nygren was a relatively unknown player for Celtic fans when he signed last summer. There is no doubt they know who he is now, especially after UEFA’s recent social media post.
Nygren was in devastating form for FC Nordsjaelland as his three goals helped trounce Fenerbahce in a rousing 6-1 win at the Right to Dream Park.
The Swede scored all three goals in an incredible 30 minute period as Nygren ran riot against the Turks.
Why Celtic will want more of this from Benjamin Nygren
Despite his goals, Nygren still has his Celtic critics as many believe he does not do enough for the team as a whole.
Indeed, football is all about scoring goals and winning, and if Nygren can continue that next season, not many fans will care about anything else.
UEFA have chosen to resurface one of his biggest career moments, giving Celtic supporters a timely reminder of the quality they already have at Parkhead.
