Francis Turley Gets Exciting Celtic Nod

Young Celtic talent, Francis Turley, made a memorable senior debut for the Hoops in a pre-season match against Queens Park.

The 18-year-old midfielder stepped onto the pitch in the 63rd minute and made an immediate impact, scoring Celtic’s sixth goal on the 72nd minute.

The youngster who has impressed the Celtic manager in a short space of time, has now earned a spot in the first team’s USA tour.

During this tour, Celtic will face off against DC United, Manchester City, and Chelsea. This opportunity offers Turley the chance to get some really good first team face time ahead of the new seasons.

The youngster will aim to continue his development and take advantage of any Game time that comes his way. Playing against some of the best teams and players in the world will undoubtedly be a valuable experience.

During a time where Celtic’s academy is under the microscope for the wrong reasons when it comes to bringing through and keeping a hold of talent, could Francis buck the trend?
