The Celtic Star is proud to support The Celtic Academy and one of the initiatives we are involved in is helping to introduce the young Celtic stars of the future to the world of the media. So often this can be a minefield for young players and clubs like Celtic are mindful of this and do as much as possible to advise and educate so that the Bhoys don’t stray into unchartered territory as far as the mainstream media is concerned.
We started this series last weekend when he published an short Q&A session with Ben Doak, who as you know was on the bench at Tynecastle on Wednesday night and is a big talent who will hopefully be signing his first professional contract with Celtic shortly, amid interest from the likes of Liverpool. You can read that feature by clicking the link below.
