Che Adams produced a stunning moment of quality for Torino in Serie A – but Celtic supporters will have been paying close attention to the man who provided the assist.
Gvidas Gineitis picked up the assist as Adams found the top corner with a spectacular strike, with the former Southampton striker producing an early contender for Goal of the Season.

And it is Gineitis’ involvement which will have caught the eye of Celtic fans.
The Lithuanian midfielder remains a target for the Hoops, with the club viewing him as a potential replacement for Arne Engels following the Belgian’s departure for West Ham.
Gineitis has been on Celtic’s radar for some time and the club are expected to step up their interest once their Champions League qualification is secured.
Celtic head into Tuesday night’s second leg against LASK with a commanding 3-0 advantage from the first meeting.
The Hoops will travel to Austria knowing they are within touching distance of securing their place in the Champions League league phase.
Qualification would provide Martin O’Neill’s side with a significant financial boost and could also allow them to accelerate their recruitment plans before the transfer window closes.
Celtic have already added Mika Baur to their ranks, with the 22-year-old midfielder impressing on his first start in green and white.

Baur looked particularly comfortable during his Celtic Park debut and will now look to build on that performance as he settles into life at the club.
Adding Gineitis to the equation would give Celtic another high-quality option in the middle of the park.
So, if Celtic get the job done tomorrow night, they could be a step closer to adding the 22-year-old to the squad.
