CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers has praised the impact of new signing Jonny Hayes.
The winger won a penalty during Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Rapid Vienna, allowing Moussa Dembele to score, and Rodgers is excited by the former Aberdeen player’s potential to help his side.
“He made an incredible run from deep to get on to the ball and then go and create the penalty,” Rodgers told Celtic TV. “That’s what Jonny can do. He can take you up the pitch. I like players with that very fast profile in the wide areas.
“He has that ability to go inside and outside and I thought he was excellent when he came on. He looked a real threat, he worked hard defensively and he’s always an outlet with his quality.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
