Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton said of Nygren on Sky Sports: "What a strange player. Nygren is not one of the title winners Tierney talked about in Celtic's squad, but the 24-year-old Sweden midfielder is doing more than most to make sure he gets that league winners' medal. Former Celtic midfielder Scott Allan enthused on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound: "The impact substitutes you've seen at the weekend, you've seen it again tonight with Benjamin Nygren and James Forrest linking up. "Lovely tee-up from Forrest and Nygren just finishes - we've seen that time and time again and he's had a real impact in this team." Indeed, Nygren has found the net three times and provided one assist in his latest four Premiership games - and his 15 goals are more than any other Celtic player in the league this season.
