Victor Wanyama sent off

By Amos Burkeywo and Agencies

Victor wanyama was shown second yellow card in the 71^st minute and sent off for challenging Mika Vayrynen.  

Celtic beat HJK Helsinki 2-0 and qualified for a place in the Champions League play-off round with an aggregate of 4-1. This is after beating their opponents 2-1 in their first match.

Wanyama’s dismissal never deterred the 10 men. They added to their lead when Georgios Samaras' pulled a shot past Wallen on the left hand post. This came as a second goal after Joe Ledley goals. Both goals came in the second half.

Celtic qualification to the play-off round means Wanyama has a chance of either playing in the Champions League or in the Europa League group.

Meanwhile reports aver that Victor Wanyama could be swapped with Manchester United’s Darren Fletcher; that is if Celtic agrees to sell him and push for Darren Fletcher.

Fletcher has been slowly recovering from a long suffering chronic bowel disorder over the past one week and was back to training. It is also uncertain if he would be included in the United’s Premier League squad.

United were said to have had scouts watching him along with Arsenal, with Manchester City linked a fortnight earlier.

If Wanyama signs for Manchester United, it would limit Darren Fletcher's chances of Premier League comeback. However, this remains to be seen.

Victor Wanyama has been hyped for a move to the English Premier League with Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City all reputedly keen on his services.
