Celtic fans react on Twitter to Ajer performance v Hamilton
Celtic supporters have taken to social media to give their views on defender Kristoffer Ajer’s performance in the 3-1 win against Hamilton on Wednesday night.
The 19-year-old Norweigan central defender was starting only his second Scottish Premiership game of the season for the Hoops, and his performance was highly-rated by supporters, in a game which the Hoops won 3-1.
One even went as far as to claim that he was “more solid at the back” then defensive mainstay Jozo Simunovic, and supporters were impressed with his challenge which lead to James Forrest’s goal.
Here are a few of the best reactions on Twitter to Ajer’s performance:
For me Ajer is more solid at the back than Jozo. Boy has a big future. Quick strong and aggresive. Good all round so far.

Superb tackle from Kristoffer Ajer in the build-up to that, if he gets it wrong then it's bad times.
James Forrest is unstoppable this season. 11 goals now.

Sinclair looking good again, Forrest on fire???????? also think big Ajer is our best CB, certainly deserves a chance to stake a claim????
