For a shy guy, Aaron Mooy didn’t half draw attention to himself on Wednesday night at Easter Road.
A superb man of the match performance was underpinned by the Celtic midfielder’s first two goals for the club and at the end he had to be shoved front and centre by his team-mates to enjoy the adulation of the travelling support which had been thrilled by the manner of the 4-0 victory. To the tune of Boney M’s ‘Daddy Cool’ - once reserved by Leeds fans for Celtic coach Harry Kewell - Mooy’s name rang around Hibs’ stadium long into the night.
And beyond, as the Australian World Cup star revealed with a wry smile afterwards. He said: “All the boys are on the bus singing it now! Harry Kewell mentioned it to me and I didn’t understand, but now I do! It’s always nice when the supporters get behind you, that’s what you want. Obviously, when you join a club everything is new. There are systems, new players and sometimes it just doesn’t happen straight away.
