Olivier Ntcham could have held back from signing for Celtic but last night confirmed to the midfielder that he made the right choice getting on board early.
The Frenchman signed for Celtic early in July stating that he wanted to play his part in getting the club into the Champions League.
Ntcham had a massive influence on the 5-0 win over Astana that has turned next week’s return leg into a formality with the hoops certain to be in the group phase.
One step closer to the #championsleague

Brendan Rodgers can now expect to be swamped by agents offering players that they want showcased in the Champions League.
With Brendan Rodgers adding to the attraction there is bound to be intense speculation over the next fortnight about who could be coming in to Celtic Park.
Getting an answer one way or another from Manchester City about Patrick Roberts will be a priority with the winger looking on enviously as his former team-mates excelled in their biggest challenge of the season.
