‘Very Good Player’ ‘Basically In The Mold Of Kante’ Fans On Twitter Think Celtic Midfielder ‘Deserves More Game Time’

Celtic boss Neil Lennon gave midfielder Ismaila Soro his debut against Ross County in the 5-0 win on Saturday and supporters were impressed by what they saw of the 22-year-old.

Although it was a brief 15-minute cameo from the Ivorian, fans on Twitter have been calling on Lennon to give Soro more games over the coming weeks and months following his first appearance:

Soro’s lack of game time since his £2m move from Bnei Yehuda in the January transfer window has perplexed some supporters but it is thought that the midfielder needed to adapt to both the team’s style of play as well as Scottish football in general.

With the global health crisis having curtailed the second half of last season, there weren’t many opportunities to give the player minutes on the pitch, but he has been in every matchday squad for league games this campaign suggesting he is in Lennon’s plans for the future.
