Honestly, one of the biggest clutch plays I have ever seen from a Celtic. 

1. Having the instinct/anticipation to see the pass long before it happened
2. Having the quickness to get from where he was, around a defender, into the ball's path
3. Having the explosiveness to sky over the offensive player to knock the ball loose
4. Having the persistence and quickness to beat his opponent to the loose ball
5. Having the energy left (and end-to-end speed) to take it all the way and then throw it down emphatically

Not many players who have the ability to impact the game so emphatically on both ends of the court, in a single play - plus the heart to do it in the most clutch of moments. 

Love this kid.
