Young hoops just keep on winning

Dundee United 1-3 Celtic

VIDEO REPORT

The names change but the results and style remains as Willie McStay gears Celtic's reserve side towards 8-in-a-row.

There was no Evander Sno, Bobo Balde or Scott Cuthbert in the side but with Paul Caddis and Mark Miller becoming increasingly prominent the show goes on.

Kevin Cawley, just promoted from the under-19 side opened the scoring and continues to mix great passing and positional play with confidence in front of goal.

Joe Doumbe, yes remember Hampden, put Celtic two up before half time and although Dundee United pulled a goal back with ten minutes left to play Ryan Conroy added a third before the end to ensure a second succesive win for the reserve side.

Pat McCourt looked increasingly comfortable showing the skill and touches that earned him his transfer from Derry City.

There's bound to be a few clubs looking at getting some of our reserves on loan before the transfer window closes but whoever moves on it's fairly certain that there'll be another young player itching to get their chance to prove their worth.

TOMORROW: Some interesting news about Billy 'Offside' Baxter and another lesser known controversial incident involving the controversial linesman, funny how this controversial incident didn't attract so much controversy... or maybe not.
