There isn’t too much wrong with Celtic at the moment. The Hoops are 13 points clear of their fiercest rivals in the race for the title while they defeated St Mirren 5-0 last weekend.

On top of that, Neil Lennon’s men are in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. It’s a happy time if you’re part of the green and white army, but one player shouldn’t be completely content.

On the chalkboard

On the end of a tough tackle from Kilmarnock’s Alan Power back in January, defender Jeremie Frimpong returned from injury towards the end of February.

A talented teenager, the former Manchester City player has earned huge praise from Lennon since walking through the doors of Celtic Park.

In December, the Bhoys boss said he was one of the best young talents he’d ever worked with. He also added: “He’s an outstanding talent who looks after himself. Just watching him makes me tired, he wears people down.”

It’s perhaps surprising that he hasn’t played so much since returning, especially when you consider the displays of Greg Taylor at left wing-back.

Being accused of being too weak physically by supporters, he’s failed to offer much in the final third and only managed 0.5 key passes per game during Celtic’s Europa League run.

The solution

In short, Frimpong should be banging on Lennon’s door and demanding to play more. He might be young, but he is clearly a more promising option than the 22-year-old Taylor.

The youngster has only played at left-back on one occasion since signing for Celtic but he could slot in there if needed. Failing that, Lennon could move James Forrest to the left and have his rising young starlet on the right.

After all, Frimpong has shown to be a valuable asset going forward this term. Considering the manager is now fielding wing-backs, his qualities in that area of the pitch would be highly beneficial.

He’s scored twice this campaign and earned plaudits for his end product from Lennon. In comparison, Taylor hasn’t managed to find the back of the net at all. However, one of the biggest indications came in the 2-2 draw against Livingston a few weeks ago.

Per FB Ref, Taylor managed only two crosses in 62 minutes. Coincidentally, Frimpong replaced him and went onto put four successful balls into the box during just 28 minutes on the field.

With the left-sided player proving to be the only weak point and cause for concern from a 5-0 victory, it is clear there should be some minor fears growing.

However, they can disappear in quick fashion if Lennon selects Frimpong. He deserves another starting berth now he’s fully fit again.
