New signing Koki Mizuno left Airdrie on crutches today after injuring his ankle in the 5-0 win over Gretna.

The midfielder over stretched for a ball on the half-way line after 35 minutes and after a couple of minutes of treatment was replaced by Nicky Riley.

Celtic were already leading 4-0 at that point with Mizuno playing a part in the first goal for Derek Riordan and the fourth from Kevin Cawley.

Riordan also scored in the 14th minute with Mark Millar also on target in the first half before Chris Killen completed the scoring in the second half.

Joe Doumbe and Mark Wilson also featured with Wilson getting a good run out at left back in the second half although barely tested defensively.

Joe McHugh has edited Video Celts since 2010, every day covering events in and around Scotland's most successful club.

When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.

Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement.

There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same. More than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying the ongoing successes of Celtic.
