Afolabi opens his Dundee account with a beauty #thedee
The Irishman has yet to make his first team debut at Celtic and was loaned out to Dunfermline during the second half of last season, however, the pandemic stopped him from getting a proper run at things.
Now at Dundee until the end of the season, the striker has a big opportunity to spearhead a promotion charge for the Dundee side and make it hard for Neil Lennon to ignore him next season.
Jonathan is just one of a number of Celtic hopefuls out on loan this season. The best way for them to get experience is to get game time – something they couldn’t get sitting in developmental.
