David Friel

He very early did interviews, but before he came to Celtic, he did a podcast where he referred to himself as a football doctor.

No, he does not hold an academic doctorate.

No, he referred to himself as a football doctor and has never been allowed to forget about it.

I'm not talking for that.

I think it was Chris Sutton at Christendom, Dr. Doolittle.

So, Paul Tisdale, I don't think it was any coincidence that when Martyn Hill came back the second time, it was at the same time that Paul Tisdale left.

Yeah, I don't think Celtic will be taking recommendations from him over managers ever again.

But I also think as well, you need to factor in, say Martyn Hill does leave, whoever comes in is going to be under so much pressure to deliver and see if he has a bad start to the season to get out of the Champions League and start struggling.

It will be Martyn Hill, the spectre of Martyn Hill will be hovering over them because people will just say, why did you change and go and get Martyn Hill again?

So, I think it's a huge decision for the Celtic board.

I just felt a bundle of energy, so much pace, so much confidence as well, and I really felt for the boy when he got that really bad injury, but to come back and actually think he's rolling the game, everybody talks about the goal he scored against Sarce, but he's layoff for Dyson Maida's goal.

was so important and yet I think he's got a bright future but I'm fascinated by the Kelechi in actual one because Celtic have this option for a year he has played this super sub role unbelievably well gets another goal yesterday do you keep him around do you feel you can get a pre-season into him and he can be even better or does he just fill that role I mean how many 90 minute footballers are there these days you know a lot of strikers play 60 or they play 30 and

I think, again, it's a big decision for Celtic because they're not going to keep Junior Adamu.

They're not going to keep Thomas Finchara.

Dijs Amadeus is going to leave.

So do you just say to your natural bye-bye?

I don't know.

I would be of a mind to keep him on the right terms.

he was he was involved in so many big goals for Celtic this season so many big games and look he's far from the finished article he's got so much to work on but James I know you're saying who gave him the contract Martyn Hill is one of his biggest fans Martyn Hill pretty much played him in every single game he's spoken

a few times about how impressed he's been with him how much potential he feels he has and I actually think off the back of this season Yang would have got a lot of interest I mean Birmingham City almost signed him last summer I think the Bakure club's trying to sign him this summer he's probably going to go to the World Cup with South Korea I would imagine he's as I said he's got a lot to work on but I think the raw material is there and I think he can only get better I actually thought it was good business for Celtic to get him
