When will Neil Lennon finally unleash the Celtic striker?
Celtic left it late – very late – to beat Dundee today.
Odsonne Edouard struck in the fourth minute of added time as Celtic won 1-0 at Dens Park to move 10 points clear of Rangers.
It was a big step toward the Scottish Premiership title, but there is no denying that Neil Lennon has a quandary to solve with regards to goalscoring.
The Hoops have netted five times in the four games that the Northern Irishman has managed since returning to Parkhead following Brendan Rodgers’s surprise exit.
This was very nearly a second successive 0-0 draw and maybe it’s time that Lennon unleashes Vakoun Issouf Bayo, stuck on the bench today.
Bayo, a £2 million signing in January [Herald Scotland], has only managed one single minute of first-team football since joining the Scottish giants and Celtic really need him.
They really need somebody who offers something different to Edouard and the Ivorian striker, who scored nine of the 18 goals with his head for Dunajska Streda this season, definitely represents a plan-b.
Lennnon’s side have a tonne of breathing room in the Premiership and it’ll be interesting to see if the 47-year-old experiments with Bayo in league games from here on in.
Despite Edouard’s goal today, it doesn’t disguise the fact that Celtic need a plan-b and Bayo might be the perfect one.
