Vakoun Issouf Bayo was given a spectacular introduction to Celtic last night.
The newly signed striker flew into Scotland on Tuesday night and took his place in the stand to watch the hoops race into a 2-0 lead over St Mirren.
Celtic’s disco lights have been much discussed since the start of the season, last night they found a whole new purpose.

Celtic paid Dunajska Streda a fee of £2m to sign the striker and are waiting on the formalities of a work permit being provided.
Bayo hasn’t played since the start of December and is expected to undergo an intensive course of training to get upto speed with his new team-mates.
He will be available for next month;s Europa League ties against Valencia with Brendan Rodgers hoping that his injury list will be starting to clear. Tom Rogic will also be available for those matches after his commitments at the Asian Cup.
