A first taste of Celtic’s senior colours for Jude Bonnar.
With Brendan Rodgers cruising to another Premiership title and thrashing Aberdeen on Tuesday night, he handed Bonnar his Celtic debut and it was a fine moment for the player.
The 19-year-old has come through the ranks at Celtic Park and has now got a feel of the big time in a team that’s dominating proceedings on the domestic stage.

Despite that poor showing at Easter Road over the weekend, the champions bounced back by putting five goals past Aberdeen, including three goals in the opening 45 minutes.
With ten minutes left on the clock, and Celtic cruising at 4-0, Bonnar was introduced into the action for Man of the Match, Arne Engels.
After that, and aside from the disappointment of not keeping a clean sheet, Maeda would add his second and Celtic’s fifth of the game in stoppage-time.

What Jude Bonnar posted on Instagram after Celtic debut
Bonnar is a midfielder by trade, but he has played out on the left wing for Celtic’s young age groups this season.
The teenager will be hoping this is just the start of things to come because there are certainly plenty more opportunities in the coming months for him to earn more minutes.
Either way, this was his simple, yet delighted reaction on Instagram to making his Celtic debut.
‘Debut and a win, buzzing, 🍀💚’, wrote Bonnar.
How the likes of Daizen Maeda, Rocco Vata and Ben Doak reacted to Bonnar’s Celtic debut
With Bonnar now putting his name alongside hundreds and hundreds who have donned the club’s colours, he was lauded and applauded in the comments section of his IG post for his efforts.
From fellow academy stars – both former and current – to Celtic’s main man right now, Maeda.
