Celtic’s u-19 youth side were held to a 2-2 draw against Hearts today at Barrafield.
It was the third draw in a row for the young hoops with Greig Spence and an own goal counting for Stevie Frail’s side.
Details of the match are patchy with nothing as yet on the website of either club or on the SPL website.
The point was enough for to take Celtic into joint second place with Motherwell with last season’s double winners Hibs in top spot thanks to their 4-1 win over St Johnstone.
Missing from the Celtic side was James Forrest who was promoted onto the bench with the first team for the first time.
The nonsense of that rule was highlighted with Barry Robson, Koki Mizuno and Willo Flood sitting in the stand at St Mirren while Forrest missed out on 90 minutes of action with the 19’s in order for the SPL to be seen as promoting youth football!
Latest table from the SPL website.
Of the loan Celts Darren O’Dea had to settle for a point as Reading drew 1-1 with Watford while Simon Ferry had a similar fate with Swindon drawing 1-1 with Wycombe, Ferry was substituted after 65 minutes while Ben Hutchison spent the game on the bench.
Cillian Sheridan will be hoping for his first Plymouth goal tomorrow when they entertain Nottingham Forest at Home Park with Mark Miller in action for Ujpest Dozsa away to Paks.
