NYGREN LOVES TO PLAY TO CROWD

BENJAMIN NYGREN may have taken the words straight out of Jock Stein’s mouth but it won’t have done his standing with the Celtic fans any harm.

- By Michael Gannon

Celtic. The club has everything I look for.That’s why I came.”

Nygren didn’t need Stein’s famous quote to cosy up to punters as he’d already won them over with his Dons display.

He said: “I was very happy with the first goal. It was a perfect cross from Kieran.

“I put it in, celebrated with the fans and the team, so it was amazing.

“T can’t take too much credit for the assist! Reo smashed into the top corner, so it was a brilliant finish.”

There’s been plenty of talk about what Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers needs in this transfer window — but midfield is an area stacked with quality.
