Celtic

Change of scene

A footballer’s life is never dull and can lead them to strange places they didn’t know existed.

Take Odsonne Eduardo. One day you are training in the beauty of Paris, the next you’re in a rainswept Lennoxtown, unable to communicate with your team-mates.

You then make your debut on a plastic pitch that has seen better days, in a stadium with a temporary stand down one side, where you’re introduced to the industrial nature of the Scottish game. You take a while to get into the game but eventually find your speed, which defenders find difficult to stop. Add skill, rawness plus an unmistakeable Frenchness and you have an interesting season watching how much game time the player will get. He has shown enough to suggest it will be enjoyable and absorbing.
