Oko-Flex seems to have not pushed on?

 

Did he not have an injury?

 

Really still have a lot of hope for shved. But he has to earn his shot in Lennon's eyes ..

CELTIC… 4
(Harper 5, Karamoko 10, Shved 33, Oko-Flex 88)

ABERDEEN… 0

CELTIC’S reserve side produced an impressive performance to beat Aberdeen 4-0 in a closed doors friendly match at the Lennoxtown Training Centre today (Tuesday).

The Hoops netted three goals in the first-half, including a strike from Marian Shved, while substitute Armstrong Oko-Flex completed the scoring late in the game.

It took Tommy McIntyre’s side just five minutes to open the scoring, and it came from Cameron Harper, who latched on to a great ball from Karamoko Dembele before finishing coolly.

And just five minutes later, it was Karamoko who doubled Celtic’s lead, pouncing home to finish after the Aberdeen goalkeeper had saved a Daniel Arzani shot.

Celtic continued to press forward in search of another goal, with both Arzani and Karamoko coming close. And just after the half-hour mark, the third goal of the game duly arrived.

Daniel Church picked out Shved with a pinpoint cross, and the Ukrainian headed home to make it 3-0.

The Dons keeper again denied Arzani with a great save on 39 minutes before preventing Shved from scoring his second of the afternoon just before the break.

Ismaila Soro was replaced at half-time by Barry Coffey, though the Irish midfielder wouldn’t see out the remainder of the game as he picked up a red card for his reaction to a bad tackle on him in the 83rd minute.

Celtic had continued to control much of the second-half, although Liam Hughes in the Celtic goal produced a superb save on 68 minutes to deny the visitors a goal.

Five minutes after Coffey’s dismissal, Oko-Flex netted to complete the scoring for a 4-0 victory for Tommy McIntyre’s side.

CELTIC: Hughes, Savoury, Church, Hjelde, Welsh, Soro (Coffey 46), Shved (Oko-Flex 67), Henderson, Harper, Dembele, Arzani (Burt 67)
Subs: Smith, Paterson

 

Harper surely going to get a few minutes in pre-season.

 

Wee Dembele at that level man

Harper is class as well..

Shved showed some nice bits..

Only seem one glimpse of Soro but that quick penetrating release to Dembele is exactly what I think he'll bring to us..

 

Harper looks double good mate
