    Frimpong was a more impressive and more effective player for us in his first few months, than he was in his last few months. Don’t think that’s up for debate.

    He got given his chance and took it. But I don’t agree that he really progressed as a player in his time here.

    I think he arrived as a £300k player and left a £13m one. That is progression mate.

    We were more excited about Lee O’Connor than him.

    No, that’s exposure.

    As for the O’Connor comparison, I still do have higher hopes for him than Frimpong. That kid largely flattered to deceive while here: did ok; nothing more.

    No, it’s not. He couldn’t get into the first team straight away. He got his head down and worked for his chance.

    He may have progressed rapidly at the start of his Celtic career, but the player who broke through at Celtic was more or less the same player who left for Bayer Leverkusen.
