That’s my first goal... now I want a lot Mo
RAYAN MOHAMMED wasted no time in grabbing his first senior goal – then vowed to fire Forfar up the table, before doing the same for Dundee.
The teen sensation displayed his striking instinct by being in the right place at the right time to force the ball over the line just three minutes after coming off the bench.

Stuart Morrison cancelled out Michael Ruth’s opener, only for Marc Kelly to restore the Sons’ lead before the break.
But Dundee loanee Mohammed earned the visitors a point 13 minutes from time – but couldn’t stop them slipping to second bottom spot.
It was a big moment for Mohammed and he said: “I was delighted to make an impact after coming on by scoring a goal.
“That’s my first goal in senior football, so I’m absolutely delighted.
“I work hard for these types of moments and it was just striker’s instinct to be in the right place.”
Mohammed hopes he can catch the eye of Dundee boss Tony Docherty by scoring more goals to help Forfar climb up the table.
He said: “It is just about proving myself every time I get on and to show the fans and the gaffer what I can do.
“It’s great playing firstteam football, it’s a different experience but it’s been really good and I just want to get more minutes.
“If we keep working hard we can catch teams and get right up the table.
“The coaches at Dundee and the manager have
given me tips, and if I do well here my goal is to get into the first team at Dundee when I go back and do well.”
