He may have joined last season but Kouassi Ebou hasn’t really got his Celtic career up and running yet.

The midfielder has had to patiently wait for his opportunity as he watched his teammates romp to an invincible treble – finding game time hard to come by.

The player has featured in preseason and was looking decent against Kilmarnock in the League Cup earlier this month until he was stretchered off.

The 19-year-old suffered an ankle injury, which now needs surgery and will see him miss out on the next two months of action.

It will be bitterly disappointing for the player, who was looking to establish himself in the team going forward.

We wish him a speedy recovery.
