After his impressive display against Ross County on Saturday Jeremie Frimpong was put in front of the media today.
The teenager wasn’t listed in Celtic’s Europa League squad, meaning that he won’t be available to face Lazio on Thursday night but that hasn’t impacted on his enthusiasm.
Although born in Amsterdam he speaks with a broad Mancunian accent as a result of being attached to Manchester City since 2010.
Bizarrely one of the BBC reporters at today’s media conference decided to question him on the study published yesterday about the high proportion of footballers that have gone on to suffer from brain related illnesses. Later on, the same reporter decided to ask him about the racist issue that impacted on the England international side.
While he takes a back-seat on Thursday night the 18-year-old looks likely to be involved in the squad that travels to Aberdeen on Sunday although a starting slot at home to St Mirren next Wednesday seems much more likely.
