PJ Crossan is loving life with the Hoops and is beginning to see the benefits of working on his game these past few months
PJ CROSSAN’S first season at Celtic has been a steep learning curve but now he is beginning to feel right at home in Paradise. It was a dream come to true for the lifelong Hoops fan when he joined the club from Dunfermline Athletic in the summer.
With a new style of play, new team-mates, higher expectations and different opposition tactics, however, it took some time for him to become accustomed to life as a Bhoy.
It was a testing time for the striker but, encouraged by the Development Squad coaching staff, he never got disheartened and focused his energies on improving the weaker elements of his game.
In recent weeks, this has started to bear fruit. Crossan has enjoyed a consistent run of games for the young Celts and the goals have started to follow, with his strike in last week’s 2-0 win over St Mirren taking him on to nine for the season.
Speaking exclusively to the View, the teenager reflected on some of the challenges he has faced in the opening chapter of his Hoops career and revealed his growing confidence as he starts to find his feet for the second-string.
Having been among the goals and starting games in recent weeks, you must be pleased with the way things have been going lately.
