Celtic face Hearts at Tynecastle this Saturday, before their attention turns to Club Brugge at Parkhead in the UEFA Champions League.
Christos Tzolis, a winger and Greek internationalist for the Belgian Pro League side, impressed during the recent bout of international fixtures – scoring an impeccable lob against Finland during a 2-0 victory.
With Greece having fired themselves in front minutes earlier, the 22-year-old capitalised on a poor clearance from the goalkeeper by lofting the ball up, over and into the net.
As per popular football X (formerly Twitter) account Football Report, here's the Brugge star's finish in motion:

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
