CELTIC have had only one fit striker for the past few games with Leigh Griffiths trying to make his return and Vakoun Bayo suffering a setback which could see him go under the knife.
While Celtic were sitting with no backup striker on the bench during a semi-final at Hampden – one of their youth products was scoring yet again for his loan club.
Jack Aitchison made the loan move to Forest Green this summer in the hope of getting more competitive matches to develop his game. The frontman has scored three goals and made two assists since making the move. Two of those goals coming in the past two games, the youngster seems to be finding his feet now leading Cheshire Live to describe the player as ‘Immesnley talented’ and a ‘revelation’.
Could Jack be someone who comes back in at the end of the season and really push on into pre-season next term?
Anyone discrediting the League two loan should remember Callum McGregor was once on loan in the lower leagues of England and excelled while he was there – helping him become the player he is today.
Speaking to SunSport last week – the player made an excellent point about how some view him. He became Celtic’s youngest ever goalscorer at 16 under Ronny Deila and because he has been in the periphery of the Celtic support some think he’s disappeared.
Speaking about the loan move to the League Two side, he took an educated gamble on the team.
