Brendan Rodgers sprung a surprise during Celtic’s game against Rangers by naming youngster Sean McArdle on the bench.
With the news that Jota would be out for nine months, as well as midfielder Nicolas Kuhn failing to make the bench, the Celtic boss was forced into handing one of his young Bhoys from the academy a role in the bench.
This time was the turn of McArdle, who could make his senior debut if he is called upon at Ibrox.
But who is the Celtic youngster hoping to be the next success at Lennoxtown? 67 Hail Hail.
