Ntcham or Zidane? Celtic supporters see no difference after Motherwell performance

Olivier Ntcham has Celtic supporters renaming him ‘Zinedine Ntcham’ in response to his Tweet after the 5-2 victory over Motherwell on Saturday.

The Frenchman was a key figure for Celtic at Fir Park last weekend despite not getting on the scoresheet, and Hoops supporters were full of praise for the midfielder on Twitter following the result.

Responding to Ntcham’s Tweet about the performance, one supporter even drew comparisons with the midfielder’s fellow countryman Zinedine Zidane, and honoured the 23-year-old by suggesting he produced a performance that the Real Madrid manager would be proud of.

For me, Ntcham was the best player on the pitch against Motherwell.

He ran the show, as some of the Tweets suggest, and was unplayable at times as he broke through the Steelmen’s midfield and sparked attacks.

Certainly did enough to give Neil Lennon a selection headache ahead of the second-leg against Cluj on Tuesday.
