Daniel Cummings nets Youth League stunner as in-demand Celtic teen's red hot form continues against Dinamo Zagreb

Celtic youngster Daniel Cummings made it six goals in six UEFA Youth League games with a terrific strike against Dinamo Zagreb.

The 18-year-old, who is out of contract at the Parkhead club in the summer and has reportedly yet to be offered a new deal, continued his red hot form with a superb curling effort against Dinamo Zagreb - taking him to 23 goals in 21 games this season, as rumours continue to circle about his future.

The Premiership champions will also be entitled to a development fee if Cummings joins another club at the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.
