Daniel Kelly

It looks like his deal is up at the end of next season. If that's correct, he needs to be given game time soon to show that he does have a long term future here and then for us to offer him a new deal.

 

Lovely wee strike, on his weaker foot too. Here's to many more.

 

If that's his weak foot I can't wait to see a strike with his strong one!

 

What a goal from him

 

Impressive..

Lefty
Excellent goal on his weak foot
Really big solid * for his age
Looked composed and mobile

Well in..

 

Looks very mature. Great finish as well.

 

Some hit.

 

What a night for the lad, more to cone hopefully

 

I like the fact he doesn’t look like an 18 year old both in terms of physicality but his on ball maturity looked beyond his years.

Would like to see more of him going forward, he made a lot of good runs off the ball too.

 

Aye looks very composed way beyond his years, good bit of strength about him aswell. The likes of him and Vata need to keep getting minutes and not just once in a blue moon.

 

He looks even stockier than Ralston when he broke through but more mobile..

Promising and shows we do have the talent in the wings..

 

We didn't need to wait for long.

 

Some finish.

Hopefully see more of him over the coming weeks.

 

Should be doing what we can to give this lad more minutes and get him tied down a bit longer. Looked class there and at 18 aswell. His goal was excellent but apart from that he looks sharp, quick, very mobile, good on the ball and strong. Just what we want from our number 8s

I know it’s still early btw but just very impressed there by his a round game

 

Beaming Callum McGregor paid a glowing Celtic tribute to breakthrough star Daniel Kelly after his all-action 45-minute cameo in the 7-1 trouncing of Dundee.

The academy standout scored a stunner in the second after replacing the captain and did so with his weaker right foot. The 18-year-old has been a revelation at academy level and is regarded by those in the know at Celtic Park as a strong bet to make the grade with the first team as they battle for Premiership title glory

And that is a sentiment which is shared by McGregor who made clear how both he and his team-mates think about Kelly's soaring potential. Speaking to Celtic TV, the skipper said: "Brilliant, over the time I have been here we keep trying to add the young players from getting them into the first team from the academy. This guy has been outstanding.


He has personality, brilliant quality, great kid, wants to learn, work as hard as they can. all these attributes. It's so important if you want to have a career here. The group really love him and the way that he plays and the way that he trains. So we just need more of that from him."


Kelly said: "It was brilliant, when the chance came I was just buzzing. I had quite a few of my family in the crowd tonight, my friends as well. It was brilliant


Boss Brendan Rodgers was also delighted. He said: "One of our young guys, Daniel, gets his first ever goal for the club. I am envious of him as a Celtic supporter. He has been here since eight years of age and that's all that hard work. It was a great finish by him.

 

Really impressive.

 

He looked good I though, can tell he wanted to come on and score the amount of runs he made into the box.

Big, quick player and strong and composed on the ball.
