Watch ex Celtic man Oliver Burke score just 25 SECONDS into Werder Bremen debut as he nets brace

Oliver Burke got off to the perfect start at Werder Bremen after scoring just 25 SECONDS into his debut for the Bundesliga outfit.

The former Celtic star put pen to paper on a return to Germany with the newly promoted side from English Championship outfit Sheffield United. Werder finished runners-up behind Schalke in the second tier to secure their place back in the big-time.

They are currently in pre-season build up ahead of the new campaign and after joining the club last week, Scotland international Burke was introduced as a second-half substitute and proved the difference maker as he netted TWICE to secure a 2-1 win over Karlsruher.

His first came from his side capitalising on an error at the back and after he was played in on goal he superbly slotted his low effort beyond the goalkeeper.

Again, the second came from poor play at the back from Karlsruher after the goalkeepers slack pass out was picked up before the ball made its way to Burke, who again slotted home for the hosts.

Speaking after his debut brace, he said: "The two goals really mean a lot to me.

"The coach and my team-mates still don't know me too well, so I'd like to show them what I'm capable of."

His team-mate Marco Friedl added: "Oliver Burke is a really great guy.

"It's really good for him to come here as a new player and score two goals straight away."
