Hyunjun Yang and Reo Hatate will get the plaudits for Celtic, but there is another who deserves his flowers.
Yang and Hatate kick-started the Hoops revival after they fell a goal behind against Feyenoord in the Europa League.
Benjamin Nygren made sure of the win late in the second-half to end the Bhoys’ 24-year wait for a win in the Netherlands.
Several Celtic stars impressed against Feyenoord, but fans were keen to sing the praises of an unsung hero.

Colby Donovan earns plaudits from Celtic fans
Colby Donovan was thrown into the starting XI after a series of poor performances from Anthony Ralston.
It was a bold call to make but the defender stepped up to the plate and did everything that was asked of him and more.
His performance didn’t go unnoticed either, and the youngster was praised across social media.
“Colby Donovan has been absolutely unreal tonight, fair play doesn’t look phased whatsoever,” said @StaceyDevlinx.

@EuanBRobertson wrote: “Colby Donovan should be really proud of that performance. Stood tall for Celtic against a difficult opponent and won his individual battle. Hopefully continues to get opportunities under Wilfried Nancy.”
@Selickpark commented: “What a performance from young Donovan.”
@aboyd1888 admitted: “The difference between Donovan and Ralston highlighted massively as soon as the swap was made.”
It seemed that Martin O’Neill was also impressed after he singled out Donovan, hailing the youngster as a “natural talent”.
Hopefully there is more to come and he can become another success story from the academy.
