Best player on the planet: Celtic fans react on Twitter to Toure display
By Alex Taylor
Kolo Toure rolled back the years in Celtic's 5-2 win over Hapoel Beer-Sheva on Wednesday evening - and fans hailed their new hero on Twitter.
The Hoops have given themselves a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League group stages following their triumph over the Israeli side in the first match of the two-legged Play-off.
The Glasgow giants had already swept aside the Lincoln Red Imps and FC Astana before Wednesday night's to provide a springboard to a return to Europe's elite competition.
Supports were amazed at Toure’s influence in Celtic’s second goal and his overall performance on the night after the 35-year-old was chosen to start at centre-back.
Here is a selection of the messages on Twitter:
Rodger’s side scored three first-half goals through a ninth minute Tom Rogić stike followed by a brace from Leigh Griffiths to put them in control of the game.
Toure though did not manage to help his team keep a clean sheet after two goals in two second-half minutes from Lucio Maranhão and Maor Melikson reduced the home side's lead to just a single goal as the teams approached the hour mark.
However goals from new signing Mousa Demebele and Scott Brown gave the hosts a comfortable win on the night.
Rodgers will now be focused on his sides domestic fixture against St Johnstone in three days time.
