A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to express their excitement about Armstrong Oko-Flex after the summer signing bagged a brace to help the Hoops’ reserves beat Falkirk on Tuesday.
The Bhoys fell behind shortly after the half-hour mark as the visitors conceded a penalty. But the 16-year-old ensured that Celtic were not a goal down for long.
Ewan Henderson’s effort led to Oko-Flex scoring from close range within a minute of conceding. And he would put Celtic in front shortly after the break as the forward managed to turn a corner home for the decisive goal.
