Gallagher Lennon — the son of Hoops hero Neil — could play at Celtic Park this season.
That’s because he has signed a deal with Premiership side St. Mirren, as reported by the Scottish Sun.
The outlet say that Stephen Robinson’s side have signed the 17-year-old centre-back on a one year full-time deal.
Lennon is now training with the Saints squad and could feature when they visit Celtic Park at the start of November. It’s a major career breakthrough.
The Northern Ireland youth international had been at Partick Thistle last season, and once faced the Celtic B team in a match in Airdrie.
He is said to have impressed Robinson and could now be thrust in to the limelight at some stage in the future, with former Hoops captain and manager Neil watching on.
Young Gallagher would have had many experiences of Celtic Park in the past, watching his father manage and play for the club.
It is great that he is progressing with his own career. At just 17, who knows where his playing days could take him.
Imagine he played for Celtic one day. That would be a heck of a story.
One to keep an eye on this season.
