Balde goal puts Bhoys six clear

Neil Lennon told Celtic fans to expect to see more of Amido Balde after the big striker came off the bench to score the clincher in the 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory over Partick Thistle at Firhill yesterday.

The 22-year-old, born in Guinea-Bissau but who has represented Portugal at under-20 level, has been consigned mostly to the bench since signing from Vitoria Guimaraes in the summer for a reported fee of around £1.7 million on a four-year deal.

And he wasn’t on the field 10 minutes when he netted on 75 minutes to leave the Hoops unbeaten in the league this season.
