The defender was one of the standout performers for the Hoops against Lille in the 2-2 draw with his solid defensive showing and his desire to attack and get forward when possible.
According to stats site SofaScore, the on-loan AC Milan star completed 13 tackles throughout the 90 minutes, beating the previous record of 11 in the one game.

"Remarkable defensive performance by Celtic's left-back!"
The post racked up thousands of likes and shares and plenty of Hoops fans were delighted for the Uruguayan.
