Tony Watt

What dreams are made of, delighted for the young lad. Must say, I was a bit sceptical when he was brought on before Stokes when we needed a goal, but I'm glad to admit I was proven wrong. Let's not get ahead of ourselves yet though. As long as he keeps his head down and works hard, we have a great striker on our hands.

 

With all the fuss surrounding a certain Mr. Watt, you guys are all forgetting one thing...

Cha actually contributed something positive today :icon_mrgreen:

 

Hope he keeps up his current scoring rate... 2 goals every half an hour means he's due 6 against the scum next week

 

Fantastic debut for the young bhoy and his goals will have his confidence soaring but he is not ready for a start against the huns imo but certainly a good option from the bench

 

We shouldn't be putting that sort of pressure on
a young lad.

 

We've heard all the slabberings over the likes of Ness, McCabe etc. will be interesting to hear the reaction to Tony Watt.

 

Aye, players like Wilson/Wylde were world class after one decent game. Wonder if Watt will be the same

 

I hope not, unneccesary pressure

 

ach who cares if the huns get excited about young players doing well?

we do it all the time, its only natural

that said, it is best not to pressure him

 

Well done lad!

 

He has gained 6,000 new followers on twitter since the end of the game today

 

18 years old and 2 goals on his debut. Fantastic!

 

He looks like Chicos wee brother

 

One of the first things I thought too when I seen him. The more Charlies we have, the better though.

One in defence and one in attack so far. Pretty good going :icon_mrgreen:

Celtic assistant manager Johan Mjallby says teenage striker Tony Watt’s double against Motherwell could earn him a starting spot for next Sunday’s Glasgow derby.

The 18-year-old made his first-team debut after coming on for Pawel Brozek and hit two goals to give the Parkhead club victory at Fir Park.

Watt’s performance impressed Mjallby and the former Sweden international says he wouldn’t rule out naming the ex-Airdrie man in the squad against Ally McCoist’s side.

"He is definitely going to be in our thoughts," said Mjallby.

"If the boy comes on and scores twice for you in a very tough game against Motherwell then obviously he is going to be in our thoughts.

"We had Georgios Samaras out, Anthony Stokes didn't get on, we have Mo Bangura, Pawel Brozek and Gary Hooper, so competition is there.

"But we have had our eyes on Tony for some time. He has done really well for the under-19s and the development team.

"He is a strong, powerful boy and obviously he likes to get into the box and score goals.

"We are delighted for him. The main thing is he has to keep his feet in the ground but the lad has a great future."

Watt’s team-mate Joe Ledley says the striker is just one of a number of promising youngsters at Celtic Park.

The Welsh midfielder added: "All the players and coaching staff are very pleased for him.

"He has a great future ahead of him, he is a goalscorer.

"He got his chance and took it with both hands so we are buzzing for him.

"And there is a lot like him. We have a good youth set-up at Celtic and that is the way forward.

"We still have Dylan (McGeouch) who wasn't in the squad bur he is a great player.

"There is a lot of good future players at this club."

 

Unsure if he'd handle the old firm but we'll see.

 

So many puns, so little time, ahah.

Fantastic debut from the lad.

 

Hope he gets some gametime against them but can't see him starting, also hope the same for young Dylan McGeough.

Absolutely gutted about what has happened to Paul George, it would be his time to shine also.

 

Watt are you waiting for? Get stuck in
