Most Celtic fans left very impressed with Jeremy Toljan’s performance v Hibernian

Celtic picked up a comfortable 2-0 win against managerless Hibernian last night and there were plenty of performances that caught the eye.

One player who did just that was January arrival Jeremy Toljan.

The full-back, signed on loan from Borussia Dortmund in the winter, put in an impressive display as Celtic cruised to victory.

The electric defender was a completely different option to Mikael Lustig, who Celtic have been used to in recent years. The German bombed on and became a genuine attacking threat for Celtic when he did so.

In fact, so much so, that he set up Celtic’s opener to bag his first assist as a Bhoy.

Celtic fans knew that the German was arriving with a degree of pedigree. Dortmund do not just sign players based on a whim.

With Emilio Izaguirre picking up a nasty looking injury, it could be that Celtic fans will now get to see his versatility in the weeks to come, with the German adept at left-back as well as his preferred right.

This display will no doubt have Celtic fans hoping he can continue such form. If he does, then the clamour will undoubtedly be for a permanent deal…
