    Couldn’t believe he was taken off.

    Until Weah came on he was our most threatening player by a long way.

    He has really impressed me so far. Has it all really, pace, strength, power, height. His link up play has really impressed me wasn’t sure if he had that.

    He will definitely score a good amount of goals here but I think Weah has that clinical edge and movement for a striker.

    I know being a striker is not his natural position but he is a bit like Dembele in that he can drag opponents all over the place.

    I think we ultimately get more chances with him in the side as he's so difficult for defenders to deal with.

    Thought he was a bit unlucky with the breaks today.. but he must be a nightmare to play against, strong, skillful and presses like *..

    Really like him..

    Good player..

    So dangerous when he get's going and hard to get the ball off..

    Was told greedy at time's from tight angles though. If he got his head up just before he was subbed instead of shooting from a near impossible position, Christie was free 8 yard's out for a tap in..

    His closing down is incredible because of his pace. Defenders think they have plenty of time but they don’t because of his pace.

    He was closing down one of their players in the second half I think it was and you thought he had no chance but he won the ball back.

    Hes picked up about 4 loose balls just by chasing down defenders incredible the amount of goals he could get from that over the course of a season

    Wish BR would give him a chance on the wing, it is his most natural, and best, position after all. He showed a glimpse today what he could do out wide given a chance when he charged in behind leaving about 3 defenders in his wake. Apart from being really fast he's a more powerful and direct winger than Sinclair or Forrest and we could really use that at times. Maybe with Jamsie being injured he'll get his chance on 1 side or the other, that's what the gaffer should be doing with Weah through the middle. I've a bad feeling he's gonna bring Mikey Johnston in though.

    He’ll most likely be starting on the right against Hibs. Looking forward to seeing him in his natural position.

    He could be a serious player in a few years. Has all the attributes.

    Wee bit rough on the ball though, he seems to flirt between really classy control and speed on the turn and then a poor touch and turning like a robot. Think he will be one of those more frustrating players like Armstrong, Johansen and at times Christie although hes not so bad or Di Maria, Sanchez and Suarez where half the time he'll be good and will go on a nice run or sneak away from someone and the other half he will miscontrol the ball or run into people and lose it.

    He's surprised me though, I thought he was brutal for Scotland although I never really ever seen him in Club football and he probably last played for Scotland about 2 year ago.

    That's quite a mixture of players you've compared him with there. :giggle1:

    Wasn't for this signing at all when we were linked, even said i didn't want him if we had the option to buy, feel like a complete * now :56:

    He offers us something completely different up front, and forrest's injury might even be a blessing in disguise as we get to see the big man in his natural position.

    OB: I’m happy here and enjoying my football - long may it continue."


    OB on what he's enjoying most at #CelticFC: "The feeling of stepping back out on the field and playing football, doing what I love. Every game is a lesson for me and I’m learning each day and it’s a great feeling."

    OB on injury list: "It's not great but we’ve got enough players to fill in and I’m sure whoever is called upon is ready for the test.

    OB: "Wherever I play I’ll contribute and help the team as much as possible, whether that’s playing as a striker or down the wings.

    OB: "I think I’m at an age where I have a lot to improve on. I just want to keep learning each day and improve my game more and more."

    OB: "Now I’m getting more game time, it's going to help a lot more and help my confidence. Hopefully I can keep going the way I have been."

    Forgot he’s only 21, seems like he’s been around for ages. Thought he was closer to 25 or 26 :giggle1: Hopefully he carries on the way he’s been doing and he’ll be smashing for us
