Throughout this season, the Celtic View will be getting to know some of the players coming through the Celtic Academy, and who are determined to try and progress all the way to the first-team…
CELTIC’S 6-0 win over Partick Thistle in the City of Glasgow Cup last week was rounded off with a superb dead-ball goal when Paul Kennedy fired in an unstoppable free-kick in the 89th minute.
The 17-year-old had come on from the bench less than 10 minutes earlier when he replaced defender, Wallace Duffy and he still had time to make a personal impact on a game that was already well in the bag.
He said after the cup meeting: “It was a good game as we played really well in the first half and went four goals up.
“When I came on, I just tried to keep it tight and help to not concede any goals. I was lucky enough to get a free-kick and score so I’m delighted with that.”
On The Pitch...
WHERE DO YOU HAIL FROM?
I just moved recently to Cambuslang but I used to live near Kilmarnock. I went to St Ninian’s in Giffnock.
WHAT’S YOUR POSITION?
I’m a holding midfielder. I can play further forward when it’s needed, but my favourite position is just in front of the back four.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT THE ACADEMY?
