Dutch born Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong has revealed that the Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Rangers was the most difficult game of his career.
The 18-year old sensation has been in blistering form for the Hoops since joining in the summer from Manchester City.
However, Frimpong was red carded in Celtic's 1-0 League Cup triumph against Rangers, in a game he admitted panicking throughout.
“Oh my days. When you get sent off like that, I was inside panicking. It was the worst feeling ever," he told the BBC.
“Every time Rangers got the ball I was just panicking.
“The time was going so slow but the team held it through and I am buzzing obviously.
Frimpong's foul on Alfredo Morelos, whic got him sent off earned Rangers a penalty, which was saved by goalkeeper Fraiser Foster. The former Manchester City academy product expressed delight in his teammates' heroics despite being a man down.
“Chris went to clear it, it ricocheted off someone and Morelos was through on goal.
“Obviously my natural instincts was to put him off a little bit because he was through on goal, all he had to do was a tap in.
“Fraser is unstoppable. I love him. He saved me.”
