ANOTHER two young Celts have been gone out on loan today. Dundee FC have confirmed that goalkeeper Conor Hazard is returning to Dens Park for a second loan spell. Previously Hazard joined Dundee in October last year and played five times during an emergency loan before returning to Celtic.
How he’s going back at Dens Park until the end of the season.

Then there’s Jonathan Afolabi who joined Celtic from Southampton last summer. BBC Scotland have reported today in their radio sports round-up that the striker has joined Dunfermline until the end of the season and Celtic have also confirmed the loan deal with Dunfermline has been agreed.

Stevie Crawford’s side are fifth in the table just one point behind Dundee in the Premiership play-off spots so while The Pars are looking to a Celtic striker to bag the goals, Dundee will be hoping that the young Celtic keeper can shut up shop.
Good luck to #CelticFC‘s Jonathan Afolabi who has joined @officialdafc until the end of the season. 🍀 pic.twitter.com/KDWkK2O8VF

Meanwhile Jack Hendry, who joined Melbourne City on loan from Celtic, has been named in the Australian A-League Team of the Week after an outstanding debut in the goalless draw with Perth Glory.
Hendry, a former Dundee man himself, was mentioned on The Celtic Star at the weekend as we remembered his best moment, the look of astonishment on Beautiful Sunday as Alfredo Morelos missed a sitter in the closing stages, it’s simply priceless. Have a look.
