Hooper impressed by McCourt

Celtic striker Gary Hooper has lauded the ability of team-mate Paddy McCourt.Hooper, who has scored 11 times in 12 appearances since joining the Hoops from Scunthorpe, has been impressed by the Republic of Ireland international, who netted a wonderful solo strike in the 2-2 draw with Inverness."He is ridiculous. He does it in training every day as well so he just takes it from the training to the game and showed it again in the Inverness game," Hooper told the Celtic View."Obviously I have seen world-class players do it, but I haven't seen anyone like Paddy from people I have played with."He just goes past players like they are not there. He is a great player to have in the team."
