Halil started on the bench and entered the field in the second half in a game which was won late by Sivasspor’s Fayçal Fajr on 80 minutes.

Halil has made 20 appearances so far this season and has been on the scoresheet five times. Next up for Galatasaray is Istanbul Basaksehir on Saturday as they search for their first win since 25 November.

Fixtures continue to come thick and fast moving into the festive period as Aaron Pressley’s AFC Wimbledon host Portsmouth in Sky Bet League One whilst Ellery Balcombe’s Burton Albion face MK Dons.

In Sky Bet League Two, Alex Gilbert’s Swindon Town will be aiming to bounce back from defeat as they take on Walsall at the County Ground.

In Scotland, Greenock Morton will be aiming to get back to winning ways after their heavy defeat to Inverness last time out. This weekend they will head to Arbroath and Jaakko Oksanen will be looking for more minutes having played regularly for the side.
