Turley Scores as Celtic B Run Riot Against Slovan Bratislava

Celtic’s B side kicked off their UEFA Youth League campaign in style, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava on a sunny afternoon in Glasgow.

The young Hoops put in a commanding performance, securing their first three points of the tournament with goals from Daniel Cummings, Samuel Iziguzo, and Francis Turley. Cummings, in particular, stood out with a brilliant brace, proving himself a key player in Celtic’s youth ranks.

Cummings’ sharp finishing was matched by a solid display from Turley, who continues to impress after his summer experience with the first team, where he even managed to make his senior debut. His contributions in the youth setup show his steady progression as a versatile talent for Celtic. Iziguzo also got his name on the scoresheet, adding to the team’s dominant performance.

From the first whistle, Celtic were in control, outplaying their Slovakian counterparts with slick passing and relentless pressing. The Bhoys rarely let Slovan into the game.

The young Celts will look to build on this emphatic win as they move further into the competition. Meanwhile, the first team will take on Slovan Bratislava’s senior side at Celtic Park later tonight, where they’ll aim to mirror the youth team’s success.

Though favourites for the match, Celtic know better than to underestimate any European opposition, having experienced some pretty poor results. Focus and execution will be key if they are to secure a positive result under the lights at Paradise.
