Youthfull caley go ballistic celtic were out played.

Still trying to thinking of a better slogan

[RossP]

Any idea on the lineup? I was going to bet on a Celtic win, thinking that most of our 'senior reserves' would have been in Dublin. Glad I didn't!

[Scarlet Pimple]

Where was John Hughes during this game. ? Perhaps giving directions to the players via CLOUD technology  or new smart phones hidden under the captain's armband?

Just back from the game and defrosting!

As others have said it was a very strong team that we put out. I was really pleased with the performance from James Vincent. I thought he has done well to get back from injury and he done really well to get back play the way we seen at the start of the season. Ross Draper and James Vincent were playing in the holding midfield role and we put in a good defensive performance. I was surprised to see Conor Pepper play at Right back today but kudos to him as he was a hard little worker running up and down the right wing. His crosses could have been a bit better but other than that he played really well. Ryan Christie for me was Man of the Match, he is coming on really well as a player and you can see the confidence from his stint in the first team pay off. Calum Ferguson was a second half sub and he done really well to come on and score 2 good goals. Matthew Cooper unfortunately got injured and had to come off early in the first half. I thought Ryan Esson had the best game I have seen him in U20 but in saying that it's more of a testament to the defence and James Vincent and Ross Draper.

As has been stated after the Aberdeen game, John Hughes has a massive selection headache but the players have really improved lately.

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

In the end Ben Greenhalgh looked the part too. Conor was like a little tiger at right back.

Towards the end of the second half, with ICT in command, Ryan Christie "ghosted" past a defender in such a manner that the comment was made "that was just like John White in days of old". It really was great to see - we await much more from young Mr Christie, a future star no doubt. Conor Pepper fought for every ball, like a terrier, a great player and worthy of a new contract - please note Mr Hughes, Mr Latapy and Mr Cameron.
