CELTIC have confirmed this afternoon developmental star and Irish internationa; Lee O’Connor has moved to Partick Thistle until the end of the season.
Lee came in during deadline day in the summer and has been putting in the time trying to get into the first team. However, while he made his full Ireland debut at the back end of 2019, the defender has still to make his professional debut at club level.
He will now spend the next six months at Partick Thistle, a perfect move to get some game time and stay close to Celtic so they can keep an eye on him.
Celtic knocked Partick Thistle out og the Scottish Cup on Saturday night and the deal might have been spoken before and after the tie.
O’Connor came highly rated from Manchester Utd and the Irish setup clearly rate him. Could he be a player ready to make an impact in pre-season this summer?
