Sebastian Tounekti produced a Man of the Match performance on his debut last weekend as he helped the Hoops beat Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

And the Tunisian internationalist followed that up with another superb display against Partick Thistle in the Premiers Sport Cup, which included his first goal for Celtic in the 4-0 victory.

Now the 23-year-old winger is looking forward to playing his part as the Hoops kick off their UEFA Europa League campaign this Wednesday with an away game in Belgrade against Crvena Zvezda.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, Sebastian Tounekti said: “It was really amazing to get a start and get the goals going is a really amazing feeling, so I’m just really pleased to get my first goal.

“I like to play with a lot of confidence and this style is fitting me really well – that’s one of the reasons I wanted to come to Celtic.

'The manager gives me a lot of freedom on the wing so I’m just really happy to be here and to help the team to win games.'

“It’s been really easy to settle in because I’ve got such good team-mates and such good staff around the team, so I’m been taking in so much from everyone, so it’s been a pleasure from the start.

“I’m really looking forward to the Europa League game – that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to come to Celtic was to play in big matches like this, so I’m really looking forward to starting the campaign.”
