With Scottish football on shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Celtic’s Esports team challenged three first team stars to a virtual penalty shoot-out.
Karamoko Dembele, Jeremie Frimpong and Greg Taylor faced off against each other in the PES 2020 challenge and the trio showed off their gaming skills in a best of five format.
First up was former Killie defender Taylor who slotted three out of his five spot kicks.

Next was Hoops youngster Dembele who managed to put away three of his penalties against Fraser Forster in the sticks.
With a score of five to beat full-back Frimpong was last up - but after striking the post with his last dig - Scotland international Taylor was crowned the winner.
Celtic fans were quick to comment on the video hailing it was great to get their Parkhead fix with competitive football on hold for the time being.

One wrote: “Best of luck lads through this tough period! Keep fit and lead us to 9 when you are back. Almost there! We're Glasgow Celtic.”
Another said: “I have missed my Celtic fix hail hail the mighty glorious Glasgow Celtic come on the tic.”
And a third posted: “Karamoko is the best in the room in real life but not at PES.”
