Celtic striker Johnny Kenny is increasing his value in the colours of Bolton.
After struggling to cement a starting place at Celtic, Kenny was loaned out to the English League One side in January.
And on Easter Monday, Kenny scored his second goal in as many games for his promotion-chasing side, who still have an outside chance of automatic promotion.
Bolton drew 2-2 at home to Stockport County, and they are now eight points behind second-placed Cardiff City, with five more games to play, and the same number of points ahead of those sitting just outside of the play-off places.
Does Johnny Kenny have a long-term future at Celtic?
Celtic’s Johnny Kenny is aiding Bolton’s promotion push
Even with Kenny netting his third goal for Bolton, added to his three assists since his winter loan move.
Many Celtic supporters will still feel that he should move on in the summer because he just isn’t up to the standard of playing for the champions of Scotland.
Either way, Kenny is either heading straight to England’s second-tier with Bolton, or booking a possible trip to Wembley because the play-offs await Steven Schumacher’s side.
Stockport are Bolton’s promotion rivals, and Kenny did very well to score against such a strong opponent and earn a Sofascore rating of over seven.
Once again, a bit like Adam Idah used to do, Kenny doesn’t get involved as much as you would like, but he gets the crucial goal that matters the most.
