Vakoun Issouf Bayo joined Celtic in the January transfer window.

Celtic forward Vakoun Issouf Bayo has been ruled out for the rest of the season, according to The Scottish Sun.

It has been reported that Bayo will be on the sidelines until mid-June with a ruptured hamstring.

The 22-year-old forward join the Hoops from Dunajska Streda in the January transfer window for a fee reported by The Scottish Sun to be worth £2 million.

The youngster has made just one substitute appearance in the Scottish Premiership for Celtic this campaign, according to WhoScored.

Bitter blow

It was always going to be hard for Bayo to make an instant impact at Celtic following his move in the January transfer window, and the reported injury is going to be a bitter blow for the Ivory Coast international.

The youngster, though, will hope to have a strong pre-season with the Hoops, and the forward could develop into an important player in the first team during the 2019-20 campaign.

Celtic have already won the Scottish League Cup this season, and are set to clinch the Scottish Premiership title and have also progressed to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
