Celtic fans left feeling happy after a vital win against Besiktas but Sebastian Tounekti will know that his time in Glasgow could be coming to an end.

Tounekti started Celtic’s 3-2 win against Besiktas but all of the change in fortunes came after he was substituted, with his replacement Callum Osmand scoring within 49 seconds of coming on for him.

The Tunisian frustrates and the reaction to his substitution from those inside Celtic Park was a telling sign that his career with the Hoops is pretty much over.

Sebastian Tounekti substitution cheered by Celtic fans

There is no greater humiliation as a player than hearing supporters ironically cheer you as you leave the field of play.

After a very unproductive first half, in which the winger offered nothing, Martin O’Neill took him off and replaced him with Osmand, who promptly went and scored.

It was definitely a night to forget for Tounekti and as others make more of an impact, he falls further down the pecking order.

To make matters worse, if you think this was just a one-off, his statistics say otherwise.

In the Scottish Premiership, the 24-year-old is yet to score or assist, has only started two games and has a successful dribble rate of less than 50 per cent.

For someone the Bhoys spent over £5m on, they aren’t getting a return. That’s why the fans cheered when he was replaced and why it is time to part ways as soon as possible.
