Timothy Weah has hit the ground running at Celtic since joining the club on loan from Paris Saint-Germain this month, scoring his second goal in two games on Wednesday night - and Newcastle United defender DeAndre Yedlin reacted.

Weah, 18, joined Celtic after managing only three appearances for PSG during the first half of the season - though he did score two goals. An exciting attacker, he has wowed Hoops fans already.

 

The eight-time United States international opened his account on Saturday as Celtic eased past Airdrieonians, and on Wednesday night he scored his first Scottish Premiership goal.

Weah produced a tidy finish to notch his second goal after coming on as a substitute, and that earned the praise of his international teammate Yedlin who took to Twitter to praise Weah.

Replacing fellow new signing Burke after the West Bromwich Albion loanee scored a brace in Celtic's comfortable 4-0 win, Weah was slipped through on goal by Ewan Henderson and slotted past Vaclav Hladky. Scott Sinclair also scored.

Weah will be hoping to earn his first Celtic start on Saturday afternoon as the Hoops play host to struggling Hamilton, who suffered defeat to Aberdeen on Wednesday night.
