Youssouf Mulumbu came off the bench to help Kilmarnock earn a 2-2 draw with Dundee.

Celtic sent Mulumbu out on loan to his former club on transfer deadline day after a difficult spell in Glasgow, BBC Sport reported.

Mulumbu had signed for Celtic as a free agent after holding out for a big move after a successful season at Killie last year.

His move to Celtic was not what he hoped for, with Brendan Rodgers selecting him to play in only three matches.

Celtic sought to cut their losses early, sending Mulumbu out on loan.

Last night he showed flashes of quality after replacing Aaron Tshibola in the 55th minute.

Youssouf Mulumbu of Celtic arrives at the stadium prior to the UEFA Europa League Group B match between Celtic and Rosenborg at Celtic Park on September 20, 2018 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

Mulumbu’s presence in midfield helped shore up Kilmarnock’s defence, having conceded twice before he came on.

The former West Brom man is still working his way back to fitness, but appears keen to show Celtic they made a mistake by not utilising him properly.
