Perrier Doumbe eyes Celtic deal

Celtic hero Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe has set his sights on a long-term deal with the club after his first senior goal clinched the club's 34th Tennent's Scottish Cup triumph.

The Cameroon international right-back, who arrived on loan from Rennes in January but did not make his debut until April 29, capped a remarkable turnaround in his fortunes at Parkhead by poking home an 85th-minute winner against Dunfermline.

Perrier Doumbe said: "I never thought it would happen, it's really incredible. I have never scored a goal before. I have scored goals at school but never in a top flight game. I will talk to the coach this week and hopefully that will go well."

Perrier Doumbe's agreement with Celtic included the option of a two-year contract at the end of his loan spell.
