The 18-year-old was trying to put on his jersey to make his professional debut until he realised he still had his AirPods in. The youngster quickly removed the popular earphones before eventually coming on.
According to the Daily Record coach Gavin Strachan confirmed after the game that it was manager Neil Lennon in the AirPods giving some last minute instructions to Oko-Flex before he came on.
Please tell me Oko-Flex had AirPods on talking to Lennon and not sitting there listening to music hahahahah

Oko-Flex was given the opportunity to make his debut after Christopher Jullien’s positive Covid-19 test ruled out a large chunk of the Celtic squad leaving the champions’ without 13 first team players as they dropped yet more points in the race to hunt down leaders Rangers.
The game finished 1-1 which leaves Neil Lennon’s men a massive 21 points behind league leaders Rangers.
