Boli Bolingoli Celtic crossing masterclass as telepathic Odsonne Edouard connection explained

Boli Bolingoli endured a dodgy start to his Celtic career with a few high-profile mistakes but everything has changed since a dominant performance at Ibrox in early September.

With two assists already this season the Belgian left-back's swashbuckling style has contributed towards Neil Lennon 's team's ascent to the top of the Premiership .

And now, in a video created for the Parkhead club's Youtube channel, the star has explained the technical elements that make up his crossing style.

With the help of defensive star Christopher Jullien, the full-back shows how to deliver accurate crosses into the box and recreates his assist for Odsonne Edouard 's goal against Cluj.

Speaking to presenter Ryan Rowe, he said: "I always look to see if there are players in the box. I try always to get the ball in front of me and to give a small chip to the second post. Sometimes it works but it depends on how many players there are in the box.

"The one for Edouard is my favourite type of cross. When you come in on the sprint to the last line and I get a small chip for him to just head head it in. Easy!"

You can watch the full video in the player above.
