Seb hits right notes for Celts as goal and assist get them out of a tight spot

- CRAIG SWAN

SEBASTIAN TOUNEKTI reckons he's just getting started at Celtic.

And the Tunisia international says the freedom afforded by boss Martin O'Neill can help him deliver even more as he develops at Parkhead.

Tounekti produced a devastating cameo to rescue his side's Scottish Cup aspirations at the last-16 stage.

Off the bench with 20 minutes to go and his team toiling at 1-0 down, he produced some magic on the flank to create a leveller for new boy Junior Adamu deep into stoppage time.

The winger was not finished and fired a blistering winner just two minutes into extra-time to take Celtic from the brink of a miserable exit to within one win of Hampden.

The 23-year-old has undoubted talent but his strike was just a fourth goal since signing from Hammarby a little over five months ago.

Tounekti is adamant he's not yet reached the levels he can as he said: "No, no, no. To me, it's only the start.

"I feel I could improve a lot and I have the ability to do that.
