A number of Celtic fans have been hailing Osaze Urhoghide following his superb Hoops debut on Thursday night.

The 21-year-old joined Celtic in July, the Bhoys reportedly paying Sheffield Wednesday just over £200,000 for him.

Urhoghide has had to bide his time for a start under Ange Postecoglou.

However, with Celtic playing their last Europa League group game on Thursday, Postecoglou opted to make changes.

One of those saw Urhoghide line up at right-back against Real Betis.

And the 6ft 2in ace delivered an impressive performance at Celtic Park.

Urhoghide went close with an early effort after Stephen Welsh had opened the scoring after just three minutes.

He got forward whenever possible and proved an excellent outlet down the right flank.

Urhoghide also impressed defensively, weighing in with tackles and pressuring opponents.

There was a worrying moment late on when he collided with teammate Nir Bitton.

He was assessed and looked like he could’ve gone off, but was allowed to continue and see the game out.

Following the match, some Celtic fans spoke highly of Urhoghide:

While a regular first-team berth may not be on the cards just yet, Urhoghide has certainly showed he can deliver for Postecoglou when called upon.
