Olivier Ntcham ranks iconic Celtic strikes as he names the best player he's ever faced

Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham has ranked his two most iconic goals in the Hoops, as well as naming his most difficult opponent.

The Frenchman famously grabbed a last-gasp winner against Lazio last season to hand the Hoops their first-ever win on Italian soil.

In a Twitter Q&A session with fans though he was asked whether that ranked above his derby winner against Rangers from 2018.

Ntcham said: "The goal against Lazio was special because we made history, it was a beautiful last minute goal.

"An unbelievable feeling. I was so proud of myself and the team. Special moment.

"But to score the winner in a derby is an indescribable feeling so I would say Rangers."

The Celtic star was also quizzed about the best players he's ever come up against.

Ntcham played in Francesco Totti's final match and even swapped shirts with the Roma legend, but it wasn't the World Cup winner who got the nod.

He said: "Papu Gomez. The captain of Atalanta.

"Totti? It was crazy to play against a legend like that in his last game. Yes we swapped shirts at the end, and of course I still have it!"
