Rodgers on signing Weah: “Timothy’s a young talent who is a full international player,” said Rodgers. “He has a long career ahead of him but he has those natural attributes in terms of his pace and technique. He’s hungry too. “He’s been in the PSG squad and featured for them in pre-season. With the quality of players they have it’s difficult for him to get in and get any game-time. They wanted him to go out on loan and saw Celtic as a great possibility. “He has really good qualities technically, and tactically is always improving his game. Physically he’s very good, very fast and is a strong player. He’ll add competition to the squad.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/07/timothy-weah-celtic-medical-psg-loan
Hoops Dreams: Tim at Celtic by Weah of PSG (In tribute to the legendary documentary & with a hat tip to @HScoach13 )
Meh, get to work, get on the field, be a part of the first team, score important goals. Then talk about winning "things." I hate that phrase.

Celtic's next game is a Scottish FA Cup match on the 19th against a third-division team. I'd be surprised if we don't see Weah in that.

There are a lot of agencies that get West African kids to eastern Europe. Many of them are extremely exploitative.
After reconsidering including Timothy McWeah in my title when I reread it, all I could come up with was "Spread love, it's the Brooklyn Weah: Tim at the Unglamorous PSG of Scotland."
