Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso made his debut for the Scottish champions Celtic on Thursday night when they played in the Europa League against Austrian giants Red Bull.

The Ghanaian started in his first match for the Scottish giants on Thursday evening in the match against the Salzburg-based team in Austria.

The 24-year-old joined the club on loan from Russian side Rubin Kazan last month but had not played for them until Thursday's European competition match.

Wakaso was yet to make his Celtic bow having returned too late from international duty with Ghana to feature against Aberdeen over the weekend.

The left winger was considered for the Hoops starting line-up after Aleksander Tonev failed to make any real impression on his debut over the weekend.

“That's important Wakaso is expected to benefit,” manager Rony Deila told the club’s website before the match played in Salzburg

“Wakaso had not even trained with the team until this week because of the break. That's why he was on the bench for all of Saturday's game.”

The 24-year-old former Espanyol kingpin joined the Scottish champions on loan from Rubin Kazan this summer and has an option to make it permanent.
