Fulham goalkeeper George Wickens saved two penalties as Ross County lost 1-0 at Celtic yesterday afternoon.

The lifelong Fulham fan, who impressed in his last loan spell at Wealdstone, had to pick the ball out of his own net within a minute when Alistair Johnston’s deflected drive gave the league leaders a perfect start. But Celtic laboured for the remainder of the game, especially after they won a penalty when Simon Murray tripped Callum McGregor.

Wickens guessed the right way to palm away Luis Palma’s spot-kick and had to produce another reaction stop immediately afterwards when the referee ordered a re-take after the video assistant spotted Ross County encroachment. The 22 year-old made several second half saves before County squandered good chances to equalise in stoppage time.
