Osmand relishes 'surreal' impact - but what position is he?
Callum Osmand

Celtic's Callum Osmand says it was a "surreal" feeling to score with his first touch and help inspire his team to a comeback win against Besiktas.

The 20-year-old netted the equaliser just 43 seconds after coming on, and also set up one of Camilo Duran's two goals.

His impact transformed the atmosphere at Celtic Park, and his team's performance, and Osmand says as a young player he is still processing the experience of featuring in big games.

"It's a really surreal feeling still," Osmand said.

"I haven't played a lot of football, but these moments just seem to be getting better and better. I love the sort of feeling that I get from it and hopefully I can keep getting that feeling."

Osmand has been played out wide by Martin O'Neill this season as the Celtic manager searches for his best team.

However, Osmand was signed as a striker and believes that is still his main position but is keen to be as adaptable as possible to help the team.

"If someone asked me where I play, I'd say striker, but when I play striker, sometimes I'll drift out anyway, so I don't mind playing on the wing," he said.

"I just want to base my game around any of the front three and I think that just gives me another element to my game. I really love playing on the wing as well, so wherever I can get on the pitch."
