A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to laud Liel Abada after the 19-year-old produced another outstanding display as the Hoops beat St Mirren 6-0 on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou have now scored 12 goals without conceding in their last two Scottish Premiership games.

It was David Turnbull who really stole the show this weekend. The midfielder scored a hat-trick for the home side at Parkhead.

But it was Abada who made the points safe inside the first 22 minutes against Jim Goodwin’s men.

The teenager scored twice. But his overall contribution to the game was outrageous.

Remarkably, he made seven key passes (). Unsurprisingly, he topped the table. And only Anthony Ralston managed more than four.

He also completed two successful dribbles. Once again, no player could better his tally.

‘Was fantastic’: Celtic fans laud Abada after St Mirren win

Abada has made an amazing start to life in Scotland. It is incredible to think he does not turn 20 until October.

And many of the supporters on social media lauded the starlet. Some cannot believe that they have managed to land the wide-man and know that he has an incredible future ahead.

It is scary to think how good he could become if he is still finding his feet with the Hoops.

With that in mind, here is how some of the fans reacted to Abada’s display…

Would a prefer messi or abada? Not for me to say but Abada 110%

Abada is doing things that we would love to see Mickey Johnston do 🤦‍♂️

Today was brilliant. Goals, atmosphere and Ange ball. Turnbull and Abada were outstanding. Hart is a leader and Eddy again looked like the man old old. Defence still gives me the fear but I also think we will outscore most. 🍀

Abada was superb today he deserved a hat trick

— Jen (@jenmcewen85)

Another cracking performance by Celtic.

Abada is some signing and Turnbull ran the show today.

Kyogo is wasted out on the left in my opinion.

For being 19 Abada is absolutely class
