BAYO scored a double on his Toulouse debut at the weekend which prompted his agent to have a pop at least week’s easy target Neil Lennon. We covered that before yesterday’s 3-0 win over Motherwell but if you missed the story you can catch up by reading “Out of order – Bayo’s agent hits out at Neil Lennon after striker scores twice on Ligue 2 debut” HERE.
Anyway while we wish Bayo all the best in France he remains a Celtic player for now and the entire point of the loan move is to get him game time, back playing football again, prove his fitness – and let’s face it his injuries certainly did his chances of breaking into the Celtic team no favours – and maybe either catch Neil Lennon’s eye for the future or convince Toulouse that they should make the move permanent.
Toulouse it should be remembered are playing in the second tier of French football so this is not the top division he’s playing in. Nevertheless two goals on your debut is a great start at a new club regardless of the level of football and this morning Celtic France have kindly shared the two goals on social media.
Watch the videos of Bayo’s two headed goals below and perhaps you’ll think that against the deep sitting defences we’ve faced over the past few games someone in the centre forward position capable of getting his head on the end of a cross wouldn’t have been the worst option!
Good luck to Bayo – by all accounts he’s a lovely fella!
