Tommy McIntyre has named his side for their opener against Bonnyrigg Rose this afternoon. The Celtic Colts manager has named a strong outfit ahead of the Scottish Lowland League season as the youngsters look to make their mark on adult football. McIntyre has gone with:
Oluwayemi, Murphy, Lawal, Otto, Paterson, Wylie, Letsosa, Carse, Vata, Davidson and Dobbie.
New signing Bosun Lawal goes into the starting XI, having signed from Watford yesterday.
Subs for Celtic: Mullen, Robertson, Deane and Jackson.
The game kicks off at 15.00 and is being played at New Dundas Park. The game will be shown on Bonnyrigg’s PPV for £5.99.
Hopefully, the introduction of ‘B Teams’ to the SLFL will offer players a path to the first team as they gain experience. The youngsters will relish the opportunity but the referees need to protect the players from potentially dangerous challenges from more experienced players.
