Celtic’s first team were in fine form on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Cup, and their reserves picked up a win themselves yesterday.

Bhoys youngsters and fringe players were in action at Forfar’s Station Park stadium, with Dundee the opponents for Celtic’s reserves.

It proved to be an absolute thrashing, with Celtic running out 6-0 winners, and the Bhoys will be delighted with Vakoun Issouf Bayo’s contribution.

Jack Aitchison and Kerr McInroy put Celtic 2-0 up before Bayo raced away to make it 3-0, and Armstrong Oxo-Flex made it four.

Thomas Caffrey got on the scoresheet for 5-0, before Aitchison grabbed his second to seal a 6-0 victory.

It was Bayo’s first goal in a Celtic shirt since signing from Dunajska Streda in January, with the Ivorian forward building up his fitness levels.

Celtic have now posted a video of all the goals, with fans now able to see how Bayo outpaced the Dundee defence before producing a fine finish, which will no doubt excite supporters.

The video also showed Neil Lennon in the stands for the game, and Bayo will hope to have impressed his new manager having been signed by Brendan Rodgers, meaning he now has to prove himself to a new boss at Parkhead.
