Jeremie Frimpong continues post Celtic rise with Holland World Cup call after Bayer Leverkusen form

Jeremie Frimpong has continued his post-Celtic rise with the defender heading to the World Cup with the Netherlands.

The former Hoops full-back, who made the move from Parkhead to Germany with Bayer Leverkusen, has been highly impressive at club level and he has been rewarded with a place in Louis van Gaal's squad heading for Qatar. He is joined by another ex-Parkhead favourite in Virgil Van Dijk, who was always a cert to be included.

The 21-year-old, yet to win a senior cap, has picked up four appearances at Under-21 level for his country and could make a dream debut in the coming weeks. His stats for this current campaign make impressive reading with five goals and three assists from 20 appearances. He's also picked up Champions League experience this term and his rise to the very top continues with this latest landmark achievement.
