Celtic attacker Marian Shved shared his delight on Instagram after making his competitive debut for the club on Tuesday night.

The 22-year-old joined the Bhoys from Ukranian club Karpaty Lviv back in January, but remained with them for the rest of the season.

He’s now with the first-team squad under Neil Lennon at Parkhead and got his senior debut for the Bhoys in mid-week.

The right-winger came on for the final 20 minutes and scored a thunderous goal on the edge of the box with his favoured left foot.

Shved has moved to Scotland with a reputation of scoring eye-catching goals and certainly put down an early marker.

Celtic won 2-0 away to Estonian champions Nomme Kalju thanks to an own goal and Shved’s late strike, which means they progressed past their Champions League second round qualifier 7-0 on aggregate.

They now have a two-legged tie in the third round against Romanian outfit Cluj to try negotiate.

Shved was delighted on social media to get off the mark on his debut and his celebration on the pitch showed what it meant to him.

“Dream debut! Job well done by all the lads! Now on to defending the title this weekend and awaiting our date with Cluj,” he wrote.

Shved is certainly an exciting player to keep an eye out for at Celtic this season and fans can expect him to be a real handful in domestic games.

He’s got a lethal left foot when cutting in from the right flank and most importantly he has improved the squad.

Lennon was able to rest some key players on Tuesday night and he needs a strong squad to help the Bhoys compete on all fronts.

Shved definitely looks like he can provide another option in the final third and he now has the perfect platform to kick on.
