Celtic winger Liel Abada got his fifteenth goal of the season as the Hoops hammered St Johnstone 7-0 at the weekend.
The Israeli has been back to his best since the last international break and fans on Twitter feel he deserves more recognition for the performances he has put in during his first season in Scottish football:

It’s easy to forget that Abada only turned 20 back in October. You also have to take into consideration that, before arriving in Glasgow, his experience at senior level was limited to just 76 matches, only 27 of which were in the Israeli top flight.
To move to a new country and have such an immediate impact is seriously impressive. Not only does he have 15 goals, he has also provided 11 assists in his 49 appearances this campaign. Celtic’s recruitment department did an outstanding job of plucking Abada from obscurity and he looks to have a very bright future ahead of him.
