MOMO SUPER MO

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill is convinced that Celtic fringe player Momo Sylla could be the man to fill the boots of the departing genius Lubo Moravcik. Speaking yesterday O'neill expressed his opinion that Sylla could yet become a major player at Celtic Park:

"Who knows? In our search for a replacement for Lubo Moravcik, we might even find that we have one in our midst.

"It won't stop us looking further afield, of course, but Momo might well prove to be the answer to our prayers."

"Momo's definitely learning more about the professional game.

"He still tends to attempt these little tricks of his around our box as well as the opposition's, but while that's something I'll be having a word with him about there's no doubt in my mind about his talent."

Sylla joined Celtic from St Johnstone at the start of the season and has yet to make himself a permanent fixture in the starting line up.
