Celtic loanee Kundai Benyu made his debut on loan for Oldham Athletic at the weekend.

Benyu signed for Celtic from Ipswich Town in the summer but has struggled to make the Scottish champions’ first team.

The 20-year-old Zimbabwe international made only four appearances for Celtic in the first part of the season, which included just one league game.

He has joined English League One side Oldham on loan until the end of the season in a bid to get regular playing time under his belt.

At the weekend he was selected as Oldham drew 1-1 at home to Rotherham United, playing 74 minutes of the fixture.

Oldham fans were encouraged by the Celtic loanee’s start…

Oldham are in 20th out of 24 teams in League One, so Benyu will certainly not find it easy for the Latics, but there is an opportunity for the youngster to make himself a hero.

Celtic fans will want to see positive steps from him if he is to stand a chance of making their first team next season, especially with the club hoping to make further more of an impact in Europe.
