Celtic game is perfect stage for Biabi

New Hamilton Academical striker Botti Biabi believes a debut against Celtic at the Superseal Stadium tonight would be the perfect platform to show off his talent.

The 21-year-old joined Martin Canning’s Accies side on a four-month loan deal from Swansea looking for game time.

The London-born attacker has not seen any firstteam action since he joined the Swans from Falkirk in 2015 and that was the reason behind his decision to return north of the border.

Biabi is now hoping to shine in the televised game against treble-winners Celtic, if given the chance.

He said: “I learned a lot at Swansea, training and being around Premier League players, it was good.

“But obviously I wasn’t breaking into the first team and I thought I need to get some more games under my belt so Scotland was the ideal option.

“It has been frustrating but it is football and you have to deal with it, especially as a striker.

“If you are not playing it is frustrating because you want to show what you can do. But I am here now, it is a good platform to show everyone what I’m really about so I can’t wait.

“Celtic is obviously a massive club. Everyone knows that. Friday night is a big game not just for me but for the club and hopefully I can go out there and show everyone what I can do.

“I watch Scottish football all the time and Celtic have been doing well, they have not lost in so long, so to go and beat them or get a good result against them would be fantastic.”
