Celtic’s Callum McGregor will miss the game against Scotland in Amsterdam on Thursday night. But a former Celtic player, Jérémie Frimpong, is one of the standout figures of the Dutch team.
Frimpong is known in Scottish football for his remarkable energy. He did well, but in a Celtic team that was crumbling around him. It’s the tenth season in a row that he hasn’t. An era of Diego Laxalt and Shane Duffy, Albian Ajeti and Patryk Klimala.
The Dutchman’s last 4 games for Celtic have ended with a 1-0 defeat to Rangers, a 1-1 draw with Hibs and two draws against Livingston. His move to Bayer Leverkusen in January 2021 was a cut in every way. It demanded a large sum and the player arrived at a club with enormous ambition.
In his second full season he scored goals. In the third, this season, he already has 11. Every time Frimpong scores, Leverkusen wins.
He decided it for the first time last October, against France, and is a key player in one of the stories of European football: Leverkusen’s promotion and promotion to the Bundesliga’s top flight, 10 points ahead of Bayern Munich. Dramatic moments in the recent history of the German elite.
Last month, Frimpong scored the third goal in a 3-0 win over Bayern. He’s only 23 and won’t turn 24 until December. The Frimpong we see on Thursday night is another character from the one we saw at Celtic. . He promised it then. It’s here.
