David Turnbull is relishing the competition for places in the heart of the Celtic side – and the battle to be the midfield top scorer. The Hoops were at full steam through pre-season as Ange Postecoglou’s men rattled 20 goals in five games against decent opposition.
A fair chunk of them came from the engine room with Turnbull’s slick finish against Norwich City on Saturday making it three for the summer while Reo Hatate and Matt O’Reilly alongside him also nabbed a couple each. Celtic’s front line looks lethal with the lines of Kyogo, Giakoumakis, Jota, Daizen Maeda, Liel Abada and James Forrest all regularly on the scoresheet.
But the Bhoys in behind them are hungry to get in on the act – with Turnbull looking to add to his already impressive Hoops haul. The 23-year-old hit the net 10 times last term – despite missing several months through injury – and he’s determined to kick on again this season.
