Bernardo, a rising star on loan at Celtic, celebrated the team’s 3-0 victory over St. Mirren on social media on Tuesday night.
The midfielder from Portugal signed on deadline day and had a mixed debut for the team.
His career at Celtic began with few starts in the first half of the season, but it all changed on Boxing Day when he scored a crucial goal against Dundee. He opened the scoring in a vital 2-1 victory over bitter rivals The Rangers four days later.
Despite not finding the net against St. Mirren on Tuesday, Bernardo was responsible for two excellent assists: the first came from a deft spin and pivot that set up Matt O’Riley’s goal, and the second came from a precisely placed pass that Greg Taylor converted for Celtic’s third.
Bernardo has gone from being an unknown quantity to a Celtic hero in the span of ten days. Given his obvious talent and confidence, he might have a big impact for the remainder of the season.
Bernardo shared his opinions on Instagram, saying, “As a team, we should be together! A good start to the year, and we’ll aim higher.
After a short break due to the start of the winter shutdown, Celtic will play Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup later in January.

Celtic hero Jota poised for Al-Ittihad exit on a ‘free’
Jota, the Celtic hero, may be ready to sign a “free” contract with Al-Ittihad after finding it difficult to establish himself in Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Pro League winners will try to “rip up the winger’s contract,” according to news source Hi Koura.
Jota paid £25 million to join the Middle Eastern club during the summer transfer window, but because he was not included in Ittihad’s league squad, he has had limited playing time.
And it seems like the winger may be about to leave the Saudi team.
Yogo Furuhashi, meanwhile, has once again been passed over by the Japanese national team, even after his valiant performance against the Rangers over the weekend.
For Brendan Rodgers’ team in the derby, the striker scored an incredible goal to increase Celtic’s lead atop the Scottish Premiership standings.
However, Kyogo has not been a key member of the Japanese team lately, and this has persisted even before their participation in the Asia Cup.
Yogo has not been selected in Blue Samurai manager Hajime Moriyasu’s squad, which was announced today. Naturally, Kyogo suffers a personal setback, but Celtic gains momentum as they look to dominate domestically in the second half of the season.
The team includes the Celtic duo of Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate, who may be absent for a month as the tournament is scheduled to begin on January 14.
The South Korean duo Oh and Yang may not be available at all, so Rodgers will need to make sure his team has backup plans for a crucial moment of the season.
