Watch: Celtic’s Shim Mheuka nets impressive double for England against Czechia
Shumaira Mheuka has given Celtic manager Martin O’Neill another reminder of his goalscoring ability after netting twice in England Under-20s’ 6-0 victory over Czechia on Thursday night.
The 19-year-old, who joined the Hoops on loan from Chelsea in September, struck twice before half-time at Mansfield’s One Call Stadium.
Manchester United youngster Shea Lacey also grabbed a brace, with Brooklyn Nfonkeu-Feuba and Ben Broggio completing the scoring after the interval.
Mheuka’s double continues his impressive international form, having previously scored against France and Germany to take his tally to four goals in four appearances for England Under-20s.
However, the teenager has found opportunities considerably harder to come by at Celtic.
Despite making seven Scottish Premiership appearances, Mheuka has accumulated just 67 league minutes and is still awaiting his first start and goal for the Scottish champions.
A further 13 minutes in the League Cup takes his senior playing time to just 80 minutes, while his only start in a Celtic shirt came for the B team against Ross County in the KDM Evolution Trophy.
In total, Mheuka has played just 152 minutes across Celtic’s first team and B team since arriving in Glasgow.
