You only get one chance at making a first impression, not many make as much use of that opportunity as Jeremie Frimpong.
The young Dutchman took his chance to shine in front of 25,000 fans but had already passed a much tougher test.
Any player joining a new club has to win over their peers with the first day on the training ground helping to shape many opinions.
Daniel Arzani recently revealed how Scott Brown tests out new recruits but in a post match interview with Celtic TV Jonny Hayes admitted that Frimpong was a hit after five minutes.
Since he came in, the first day and first five minutes of his session we’ve been talking about him. He’s obviously impressed all the players and the management as well. Exactly what he does in training everyday he’s gone out and done it tonight so I’m delighted for him. He works his nuts off in training and he’s got his rewards tonight by starting in a 5-0 win.
Over the course of just over a month Neil Lennon has acquired three strong options to play at right-back with Hatem Abd Elhamed and Moritz Bauer also making an instant impression.
Saturday’s team-news for the lunchtime kick off against Hibs will be keenly anticipated with Lennon having real competition for places in his side and on the bench as he looks to build on his side’s impressive start to the season.
