@KyleMurdoch93: “Called it weeks ago, we’re not the same team without Ryan Christie! He will be player of the year.”

@MrStefanCarlin: “Celtic have been relentless and they have been ruthless. They have not had a glove laid upon them. This is the start of things to come. Christie is sheer class, and to think we could’ve swapped him for McGinn. Seven goals, five different scorers. We welcome the chase!”

@JohnBhoy93: “Delighted with the performance today, some of our play was a joy to watch. Christie is going to be a star this season.”

@kmccluskey11: “Edouard DOESNT need to score to be outstanding for us, the goal today was the icing on a sublime performance.”

@CiaranMcB0103: “What a day at Paradise man. 7 absolute toppers of goals, atmosphere absolutely unreal. New signings look class, Christie and Edouard are best in history of universe. Sensational stuff.”
