Official: Younger brother of 2021 Super Eagles invitee departs Scottish champions Celtic on loan

With a statement on their official website, Scottish Championship club Dunfermline Athletic have announced the signing of Tobi Oluwayemi, the younger brother of 2021 Super Eagles invitee Joshua Oluwayemi, who is also a goalkeeper.

The younger Oluwayemi has departed Scottish Premiership champions Celtic in search of first team opportunities. 

Celtic bolstered their goalkeeping department in the summer transfer window with the signings of Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo, pushing the Anglo-Nigerian further down the pecking order of goalkeepers as he's also behind Scott Bain.

An England youth international, Tobi will be spending the remainder of the season on loan at the KDM Group East End Park outfit.

This is the third time the promising goalkeeper has been loaned out by the Hoops since he joined the club from Tottenham Hotspur back in February 2019.

Oluwayemi previously spent time on loan at  Cork City and Admira Wacker, making two appearances for the Irish side and nine for the Mödling club in the Austrian 2. Liga.

Since joining Celtic, he has represented the youth teams of the Glasgow club in the Lowland League, UEFA Youth League, SPFL Trust Trophy and Premier League International Cup.

In the 2021-2022 season, Tobi received two call-ups for Celtic's Europa Conference League games against Bodø/Glimt, but was not utilized off the bench by the then manager, Ange Postecoglou. 

Oluwayemi has been assigned the number 21 jersey at  Dunfermline Athletic.
