A number of Celtic fans have waxed lyrical about David Turnbull following his impressive Europa League display on Thursday night.

The Bhoys ran out 3-2 winners at Ferencvaros in a dramatic game which saw the visitors strengthen their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.

Kyogo Furuhashi opened the scoring for Celtic on three minutes, collecting Liel Abada’s pass, feigning a shot and slotting home with his left foot.

Celtic conceded eight minutes later as they lost possession in a dangerous area, which culminated in a cross hitting the sliding Josip Juranovic for an own goal.

However, the Hoops soon regained their lead through a 20-yard effort from Jota which went in off the post via a slight deflection.

And on the hour mark, Ange Postecoglou’s charges made it three with a superb team goal which Abada duly slotted home into the corner.

Celtic were made to sweat late on as Myrto Uzuni brought his side back to within a goal in the 86th minute, but the visitors hung on for all three points.

While many Celtic players earned praise for their efforts, some fans felt Turnbull delivered his best display in green and white.

The 22-year-old played a part in Abada’s superb team goal, weighed in with several chances of his own, and floated some great deliveries and set-pieces for his teammates.

Here is what Celtic fans made of Turnbull’s display on the night:
