Celtic loanee Marco Tilio scored for the second game running as Melbourne City beat Wellington Pheonix 1-0 yesterday.
The Australian moved back to his homeland on a temporary basis just over a year ago after his first few months in Glasgow didn't go to plan.
Tilio struggled with fitness and adapting to the Scottish game and has made just two Celtic appearances since joining the club in the summer of 2023.

Back on loan down under, the winger has recently recovered from a hamstring injury and, in recent weeks, proved to be a key player for his team.
Tilio opened the scoring in the Melbourne derby last weekend, and yesterday, he netted the only goal of the game as his City side beat Wellington Pheonix 1-0:

It remains to be seen what Tilio's long-term future in Glasgow's east end looks like.
He is due back at Celtic when the season ends, although Brendan Rodgers has the likes of Nicolas Kuhn, Daizen Maeda, Yang Hyun-jun, James Forrest and Jota available to him in the wide areas.
