‘We’ve Got A Player There’ ‘Very Dalglish Like’ ‘Terrific’ Fans On Social Media Excited By Potential Of Celtic Starlet

Celtic midfielder Scott Robertson was handed his first-team debut by Neil Lennon on Thursday evening in the 2-0 defeat to Cluj. Although it was a disappointing result, the 18-year-old was one of the standout players on the night.

The teenager was given the full 90 minutes in Romania, and supporters on Twitter felt that the player showed a lot of potential, along with teammate Karamoko Dembele:

Robertson’s inclusion in the starting line up against Cluj was certainly a baptism of fire. He has faced senior teams before but those games came for the reserves in Challenge Cup matches against the likes of Annan Athletic, Queen’s Park and Falkirk.

The youngster certainly showed enough on his debut, though, that could see him be rewarded by more game time in the coming weeks and months. It’s unlikely that he’ll feature regularly but don’t be surprised if there are a few cameos off the bench.
