‘Offering next to nothing’, ‘Having a nightmare’ – Some Celtic fans slam 22-yr-old’s derby display
Celtic crashed to a 1-0 defeat against Rangers in the Old Firm Derby yesterday and the fans will be disappointed with some of the performances out there. The Hoops were in excellent attacking form heading into the contest but they struggled going forward yesterday. The players failed to take the few chances that they managed to create. The likes of David Turnbull, Liel Abada and Kyogo Furuhashi failed to make any sort of impact on the game despite the kind of form they are in right now. Turnbull, in particular, was expected to influence the game from the centre of the park but the Celtic midfielder was often pressed out of the game by the Rangers players and he had to be replaced in the second half. The midfielder failed to provide his usual goalscoring threat and he failed to create ...
‘Rolls Royce of a player’, ‘Unplayable’ – Some Celtic fans drool over 22-yr-old’s display
Celtic picked up a 6-0 win over St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership yesterday, and Ange Postecoglou will be delighted with the performance of his players. After a mixed start to the season, the Hoops have been outstanding in recent weeks. David Turnbull (3), Liel Abada (2) and Odsonne Edouard were on the scoresheet as Celtic completely outclassed the Paisley-based outfit. There were quite a few excellent performances yesterday, but Turnbull certainly caught the eye. The midfielder was unplayable. Not only did he score a vital hat-trick for his side, he also created important chances for his teammates. The 22-year-old combined well with Abada and Kyogo Furuhashi throughout the game, and the visitors had no answer to his creativity. If Celtic continue to perform the way they have done...

Alex Rae has suggested to The Scottish Sun that he would like Rangers to sign reported Celtic target David Turnbull in the summer transfer window. The former Rangers midfielder has outlined why Turnbull would be a good addition to manager Steven Gerrard’s side.
