Armstrong Oko-Flex scored twice in Celtic’s 4-1 win over Falkirk in Monday’s Reserve League clash at Cappielow.

The 16-year-old was signed from Arsenal in the summer and has made a quick impact on Tommy McIntyre’s reserve side.

Celtic the scores level at 1-1 Oko-Flex scored the best goal of the day, taking a short corner kick with Scott Allan then curling a fierce right foot shot around former hoops keeper Leo Fasan into the net.

Despite his youth Oko-Flex is physically strong which allows him to exploit his dribbling skills and the pace to escape the attention of defenders.

Last season he made seven appearances for Arsenal in the English U-18 PL with the Scottish Reserve League a step up although it only consists of 17 fixtures.

Brendan Rodgers has regularly included Oko-Flex in first team training sessions with a top team debut on the cards before the end of this season if he continues his progress.
