Ghana defender, Jeffrey Schlupp marked his debut for new club Celtic on Wednesday night, assisting his teammates to secure a massive victory against Dundee FC in the Scottish Premiership.

The defender only arrived at the Scottish club on Tuesday but was named in the matchday squad by manager Brendan Rodgers.

Although he missed out on a starting role, the former Black Stars regular had his chance to play his first match for the new side in the second half when he replaced Greg Taylor in the 72nd minute.

With some 18 minutes to make an impact, Jeffrey Schlupp played to instruction and ensured Celtic kept their clean sheet en route to sealing the dominant victory against Dundee FC.

Celtic started the rampage in the 18th minute when Arne Engels equalised from the spot after just 18 minutes. The midfielder later grabbed another goal to make it a brace.

Subsequently, a brace from Daizen Maeda plus goals from Adam Idah and Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn propelled Celtic to the big win.

After his debut, Jeffrey Schlupp will be hoping for more opportunities to help Celtic in the team’s charge to clinch the Scottish Premiership title at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
