29/08/15 LADBROKES PREMIERSHIP . CELTIC v ST JOHNSTONE (3-1) . CELTIC PARK - GLASGOW . Celtic defender Virgil Van Dijk touches the turf at Celtic Park after what could be his last game for the club. (36980721)
FORMER Celtic star Virgil van Dijk's Southampton debut was described as "perfect" by his new manager Ronald Koeman.
The Saints drew with West Brom 0-0 with the £13million signing a stand-out in the heart of defence.
While Van Dijk enjoyed a fine start to his career in England, his former club certainly missed him as they went down 2-1 at Aberdeen.
The Dutchman strolled through his Premier League baptism and Koeman said: “I’m very pleased with him. Virgil was very impressive.
"He was very strong in defence and very comfortable on the ball. It’s a great signing and will make the team stronger. I thought he put in a perfect performance.”
