A number of Celtic supporters rejoiced as talented teenager Daniel Arzani was named as a substitute for the first time by Brendan Rodgers.

The Bhoys take on Dundee at Dens Park, and are hoping to take all three points as they try to make up the ground on Premiership leaders Hearts.

Celtic currently lie third in the table after nine games and are six points behind Hearts who have played a game more.

Rodgers side are expected to beat the league’s basement dwellers without too much trouble, but fans were ecstatic to see Arzani placed on the bench for the game.

Arzani’s arrival

The Australian winger has not been named in any of Rodgers’ matchday squads so far this season.

“Daniel is a young boy who has talent, over the coming years we will see if he the commitment to go with the quality he has.”

Celtic fans’ reaction

With a number of fans having expressed their concerns about Arzani’s progress, it’s safe to say his inclusion against Dundee was very well received:
