Alexandro Bernabei's stunning Celtic strike has found itself as the unlikely catalyst for a bizarre row over the Falklands between an Argentine government official and a British diplomat.
The 22-year-old replaced Greg Taylor against Ross County in Dingwall and ultimately sealed the win with a stunner from distance. The Parkhead side led through Jota's penalty but it was a moment of magic from Argentine youth cap Bernabei that made sure of the points, coming in from the left hand side to hammer one into the top corner at Ross Laidlaw's near post.
It was his first goal for the club and the first time an Argentine player had ever scored for Celtic. The news created headlines in South America with Bernabei, who signed in a £3.75 million move from Lanus last year, being widely praised. And he was hailed by Argentinian government minister Guillermo Carmona, who is the Secretary of Malvinas Affairs in the Argentine Foreign Ministry.
