Celtic ran out 4-0 winners at Kilmarnock on Tuesday night. A rare clean sheet for the bhoys was an added bonus for the night and that was no small part down to Kristoffer Ajer and his young defensive partner, Stephen Welsh.
This site and other fans have been championing Welsh getting more game time instead of the tried Duffy and Bitton who have been painful to watch at times this season.
Welsh has been in and out of the side but tonight he looked pretty comfortable alongside Ajer and helped the team to a 4-0 win.
Goals from Eddy(x2), Brown and Ajeti gave the Hoops all three points at Rugby Park in the end.
Celtic need to put a run of wins together, they need professional pride and must finish the season as strongly as they can. Welsh should be given the opportunity to make the centre-back position his in the coming weeks, he can only grow in confidence and these fans agree alongside Sky Sports man Anthony Joseph.
Plenty of zip about Celtic’s play tonight. First win by 4 goals or more since 12th September (0-5 v Ross County). Might be good that there was no CB on loan last night – Stephen Welsh deserves a run of games. He’s stepped up and should be given the chance to impress & progress.
