79% passing accuracy, one assist: ‘Brilliant’ 20-year-old must start for Celtic today after St Mirren cameo

It’s another big day in the Scottish Premiership as Brendan Rodgers takes Celtic to the Highlands to face Ross County.

Celtic huffed and puffed against St Mirren on Wednesday night but a late Hyeongyu Oh goal sealed the win and ensured three precious points remained in Glasgow’s east end.

But the points only came after the introduction of two players in the second half for Celtic.

Hyunjun Yang and Odin Thiago Holm were both involved in the late winner and the young Norwegian made a huge difference for Celtic when he was brought on.

He showed determination, endeavour and energy in the middle of the park as Celtic searched for the winner and his impact was almost instantaneous.

Hold looks like he could be the one to take over from Reo Hatate after his performance against St Mirren and below we detail why must start against Ross County.

Why Odin Thiago Holm must start for Celtic

The ‘brilliant’ 20-year-old came on for just 22 minutes against St Mirren on Wednesday and was rated 7.5 by football statisticians SofaScore.

During that time, Holm had just 16 touches, two key passes and had a 79% passing success rate.

Holm also also created two big chances for Celtic and a superb assist for Hyeongyu Oh’s late winner against The Buddies.

Having a hand in Celtic’s defensive duties, Holm also made two clearances to help ensure those precious three points stayed in the east end of Glasgow.

Holm has shown some good promise during his time at Celtic and now with Reo Hatate out injured, now is the time for Brendan Rodgers to give the Norwegian his first SPFL start.
