Celtic fans have taken to Twitter following Sunday afternoon’s Betfred Cup final win over Rangers, and they have an abundance of praise stored up to lavish on Jeremie Frimpong.

The 18-year-old right-back – who signed from Manchester City back in the summer – has made 11 appearances in all competitions for the Bhoys this season, and doing so in impressive fashion having been involved in four goals during that time.

Frimpong – a Netherlands U20 international – was actually sent off in the 63rd minute for a foul on Alfredo Morelos inside the penalty area, but luckily for the young full-back, the Colombian saw his effort saved by Fraser Forster.

Also luckily for Frimpong, his teammates managed to keep Steven Gerrard’s side at bay for the remaining half-an-hour or so as they kept a clean sheet in the Betfred Cup final.

Despite putting his side’s chances of lifting the trophy at risk, Frimpong has come in for some praise from a number of Celtic fans on Twitter for his performance and overall attitude.

One fan – despite claiming that they were not exaggerating – wrote a slightly over-emphatic tweet stating that the teenager is the best right-back of all time.

Another asked if the club could keep the Dutchman until he retires, stating that they don’t think they could handle the heartbreak when he eventually leaves.

Elsewhere, this supporter said that Frimpong “makes you love football again”, which is lofty praise indeed for someone so young.

Another fan even went and compared Frimpong to Kieran Tierney, stating that while the current Arsenal left-back was a good prospect, their new Dutch wonderkid seems like a great one.

To round off the Frimpong love-in, one fan said that he was the only outfield Celtic player who “got pass marks” against Rangers, and stated that there may be a new fan favourite at Celtic Park.

Lastly, another supporter said that they think the former Manchester City man showed that he should be starting on a weekly basis with his showing against the Gers.
