Celtic loanee Johnny Kenny has earned more than just praise at Bolton

The backing from the Bolton fans has now shifted into something more visible as they deliver a chant aimed directly at him after the Celtic striker scored again this weekend.

Built around a simple message, “Sign the contract Kenny,” the chant, set to the tune of Do-Wa-Diddy, leaves Celtic in no doubt how the Bolton support feel about the young Irishman.

This is not a fleeting reaction to one goal, it is one built on what Kenny has consistently produced on the pitch. Goals, contribution, and influence have led directly to that response.

Celtic now face a clear decision to make about Johnny Kenny

Kenny has also been praised by Bolton boss Steven Schumacher for his role during a push that has delivered a play-off place. That kind of validation reinforces how much the Celtic star is valued at the League One club.

When fans form a bond with a player it creates a clear picture of value, and that picture has been built steadily and is now being expressed openly in the stands.

Celtic are now looking at a player whose impact is being recognised at Bolton in the English third tier, it’s time the Parkhead club let Kenny leave, and realise his potential away from Glasgow.
