Video: Celtic loan kid scores thumping penalty against Craig Gordon

Jonathan Afolabi scored a thunderous penalty for Dundee against Hearts last night as the Dens Park side ran out 3-1 winners. The Ireland youngster hit his penalty beyond a helpless Craig Gordon – who must really be sick of seeing his Celtic players score past him from the spot.

Afolabi joined Celtic from Southampton in the summer but failed to make an impression with the first team meaning he is yet to make his debut so made the switch to Fife in an attempt to get some first team experience.

Afolabi has made two appearances for Ireland’s U21s but is yet to make his debut for Celtic. Hopefully the experience on loan at Celtic will ready him to breakthrough at Celtic next year as the team look to rebuild from what has been a rough season so far.
