A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to praise Olivier Ntcham’s performance today as Neil Lennon’s charges claimed an emphatic 5-0 away win in the Scottish Premiership.

The Hoops headed to Ross County and were quick off the mark, winning a penalty which Odsonne Edouard converted after just four minutes played.

Albian Ajeti, making his first start for the visitors, added a second in the 20th minute, ensuring Celtic had a healthy lead come half time.

The Bhoys picked up from where they left off after the interval, loan signing Shane Duffy heading home on his debut just before the hour mark.

Fellow defender Kristoffer Ajer grabbed a fourth before substitute Patryk Klimala added a fifth to leave Lennon’s side six points behind leaders Rangers with two games in hand.

Ntcham was named in Celtic’s starting XI and, though he started slowly, he grew into the game and helped control the midfield.

In addition, the Frenchman did superbly for Ajer’s goal, surging into the box and crossing for the big Norwegian to get onto the scoresheet.

Ntcham’s afternoon came to an end in the 71st minute as Mohamed Elyounoussi replaced him in the 71st minute but his display was still hailed by sections of the fanbase.

Here is what some of the Parkhead faithful were saying about the 24-year-old on social media:

Celtic are next in action on Wednesday night as they head to St Mirren.
