I'm a Celtic kid at Dunfermline who helped Neil Lennon secure huge victory

Neil Lennon and Dunfermline secured a huge victory over Queen's Park on Saturday. 

Chris Kane's second-half strike proved the difference between the sides as the Pars moved above the Spiders and out of a relegation play-off place, albeit by two goals on goal difference. 

It was Lennon's fourth game at the helm. His first ended in a 3-0 defeat to Scott Brown's Ayr. He then bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Livingston before losing by the same scoreline at home to Hamilton Accies.

Ever-present between the sticks for Lennon throughout his spell at Dunfermline so far has been Toby Oluwayemi. The goalkeeper is currently on loan from Celtic at East End Park and has kept two clean sheets in four games since the new boss took over. 

The 21-year-old joined Celtic from Tottenham Hotspur at just 16. 

He has yet to make a senior appearance in green and white, however, having endured loan spells at Cork City and Admira Wacker in Austria before joining Dunfermline on a temporary basis. 

Oluwayemi is due back at Celtic when the season ends. The goalkeeping area in Brendan Rodgers' first team, however, remains crowded. 

The likes of Kasper Schmeichel, Viljami Sinisalo, and Scott Bain are all available to the manager before the likes of Oluwayemi, Aidan Rice and Joe Morrison, who is currently on loan at Stenhousemuir, come into consideration.
