John Hartson has been impressed by what he is seeing from Celtic’s new boy Luis Palma after Brendan Rodgers’ side recorded a 3-0 win over 10-man Ross County on Saturday.
Inside ten men minutes, the hosts were down to ten men when James Brown, after a VAR check, was sent off for a reckless challenge on Hyunjun Yang.
You would have thought that the goals would have rained in for Celtic, but it wasn’t meant to be, with the scores only 1-0 when the benched Luis Palma was introduced into the action just after the hour mark.
With Ross County keeping every man behind the ball, it required something special for Brendan Rodgers’ side to breathe easy and it came after a stunning long-range finish from Luis Palma.
It’s a certain Goal of the Season contender from the 23-year-old, but he didn’t stop there because he was involved in the action again – Brendan Rodgers shared his thoughts.
This time, Celtic’s summer signing, from the byline on the left flank, dinked a ball to the far post for James Forrest to score and it left a certain John Hartson beaming with joy on Twitter.
“Excellent win for Celtic,” said Hartson. “Palma is a player.”
