Celtic Colts

We’ve done well this year in that division. Need to try get talks going to get possible promotion

 

Warriors, the club is delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper, Joe Morrison, on loan from Celtic.

Joe has featured heavily this season for Celtic’s B team, as they push to be crowned Champions in the Lowland League. The youngster has had an impressive time in between the sticks, securing 6 clean sheets this season out of 12 games.

The young keeper notably featured in Champions League squad for five of Celtic’s games in 2023.

Manager, Gary Naysmith shared his delighted is signing Joe:

“I am delighted to welcome Joe to the club and must thank Celtic, Martin Christie, Antonia, our board of directors and Joe himself for being able to complete a deal at very very short notice.

“Curtis has been struggling with an injury in recent weeks and the injury is not responding to treatment as quickly as we had hoped. It’s become apparent at training last night that he was going to be out for a period of time which left us short in the GK department. After a few phone calls with Celtic, it became apparent that Joe would be happy to join us on a loan deal until the end of the season and once we knew that, it was then a race against the clock to get the deal completed before the 5pm deadline which we thankfully managed.

“Joe will go straight into the squad for tomorrow’s match and will provide healthy competition within the goalkeeping department for the remainder of the season”

Head of Football Operations, Martin Christie, also thanked Celtic for their swiftness to get this deal over the line:

“I am delighted we have managed to secure the services of Joe. We found out late last night that Curtis Lyle’s injury was potentially going to keep him out for a spell so we needed to move quickly to secure a Goalkeeper.

“Joe is a player that we have known about for a while, having seen him play for Celtic B where he has kept 15 clean sheets in 35 games. At 20, we feel he is a good age to come in and provide competition for Darren while Curtis is out and we look forward to working with him. Thanks to Darren O’Dea at Celtic and to our board for allowing us to complete this so quickly.”
