Celtic's Leigh Griffiths bagged himself a double for the Hoops' academy side in a friendly at Lennoxtown.
The striker continues his road back to the first-team and nabbed a brace against Stenhousemuir.
Griffiths, 29, has not played for the top team since August 25 when his side managed a 3-1 win over Hearts at Parkhead.

It wasn't just the goal trail Griffiths was on as his unselfishness in front of goal was clear to see.
The Scotland star also played in Jonathan Afolabi a number of times and managed a hand in Liam Burt's hat-trick.
The young Hoops went on to win 6-0.
Griffiths will no doubt have been disappointed to know that as he stars for Celtic's youngsters, Scotland were in competitive action against Kazakhstan.
