Armstrong Okoflex in loaded Celtic blast as reserve star looks to mock lack of game time on TikTok

Celtic youngster Armstrong Okoflex has aimed an apparent dig at club management in a social media post.

The 18-year-old took to popular video app TikTok to vent his frustrations as he continues to try and make his way into boss Neil Lennon's plans.

In the video, Okoflex is positioned against the backdrop of a substitutes bench, with the caption: "When your on the bench and your coach makes his last substitution (face palm emoji)"

Dressed in full Celtic gear, the youngster pretends to react to being told that he won't be getting any game time at a match.

As a rap tune plays in the background, Okoflex mouths along to the words: "I don't know why I came."

The former Arsenal youngster signed for Celtic in August 2018 and is highly-rated in the Hoops academy.

He is yet to make a first-team appearance but did pop up on the subs bench away at Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership under previous Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers.

While Okoflex may not be referring to himself in the video, it may leave both club staff and sections of the Parkhead support unimpressed, particularly during the club's barren run domestically and in Europe.

A draw at Hibernian on Saturday widened the gap between them and Rangers at the top of the league to 11 points.
