Celtic have reportedly beaten English giants Manchester City for young Irish winger Ben Quinn.
The 15-year-old has joined the club on the advice of his soon to be teammates, according to the Daily Record.
The youngster has been invited by a whole host of English clubs. However, the Hoops have managed to get this hot shot over the line.
Celtic are building on youth starlets
The signing of Quinn is a clear intention by the club to get the youth set-up right.
Slowly but surely more youngsters are coming through from Lennoxtown to play for the first-team.
The likes of James Forrest, Kieran Tierney and Callum McGregor are first-team regulars.
However, Ewan Henderson, Anthony Ralston and Jack Aitchison have first-team appearances.
With Quinn being sought after, Celtic are clearly putting themselves about to bring in the UK and Ireland’s best talent.
The Hoops are upping their scouting in Ireland and have been snooping around Shamrock Rovers recently.
Hopefully Quinn in the first of many highly rated players from across the water to come to Glasgow.
Players from the Emerald Isle are few and far between in the first-team now and the strong contingent of supporters from there will want one of their own to support.
