The scorers of Celtic’s goals in the 3-0 Youth Cup final win over Rangers relive the occasion
TO find the net and then lift a trophy aloft at such an iconic sporting venue like Hampden was a memorable experience for Celtic’s three goal scorers in last week’s SFA Youth Cup triumph.
Captain, Sam Wardrop broke the deadlock for the Bhoys with a fine finish seven minutes before the break, repeating his feat from two years ago when he opened the scoring in the 5-2 victory over Rangers at the National Stadium.
It was a thoroughly deserved lead for the young Hoops after they had bossed the Glasgow derby from the first whistle and they were in complete command at half-time after Calvin Miller capitalised on a defensive mix-up to stab home.
Early in the second period, Aidan McIlduff, who has spent the second half of the season on loan at League One side Queen’s Park, rounded off the scoring and sealed the silverware when the Ibrox side’s goalkeeper Robby McCrorie was unable to keep out his powerful drive.
It capped off a memorable week for the Celtic Youth Academy and the club after the U17s won the Glasgow Cup final against Rangers and Brendan Rodgers’ side put their city rivals to the sword in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
Here, the View caught up with the young Hoops’ Hampden heroes to reflect on their silverware success.
SAM WARDROP
Obviously I’m on a high and I think I speak for the full team when I say that. We worked really hard and we fully deserved the victory and the cup.
I don’t score often but for whatever reason, it seems to be a common theme as I scored two years ago and again on Wednesday, but I was just delighted for the whole team to get the win.
