The Celtic striker made a big first impression on his loan debut.
What a day it was for Celtic’s Jack Aitchison on Saturday.
The 19-year-old Hoops hitman came off the bench to score the winner on his debut for Forest Green after joining the League Two side this week.
Aitchison knows a thing or two about debut goals after becoming Celtic’s youngest-ever scorer by finding the net as a 16-year-old on his senior bow for the club in 2016.

Here’s how Celtic fans reacted to his goal:
The tricky thing for Aitchison is the fact that he has some quality strikers ahead of him at Parkhead.
Neil Lennon has Vakoun Bayo, Odsonne Edouard and a certain Leigh Griffiths, while Mikey Johnston can also play up front.
Leaving on loan was definitely the right decision but time will tell whether he can break into Lennon’s plans in the long term.
