Tounekti also spoke about his Celtic teammate, the Sweden international Benjamin Nygren, saying that he will e cheering on Nygren – and Sweden – in the World Cup play-offs later this month as if the Swedes can make it through to the finals they’ll be in the same group as the already qualified Tunisia. The Celtic winger praised Nyreen scoring exploits this season with the super Swede hitting 19 goals for the Hoops and one for his national side in this campaign.
