Colin McCabe has joined Stenhousemuir on a 28 day loan.
The Irish u-19 goalkeeper has been back up to Leo Fasan for Celtic’s Development League side and made his Stenny debut on Saturday in the 3-0 defeat from Dunfermline and picked up the Man of the Match award.
Announcing the deal the Stenhousemuir website stated: “The club has today signed Celtic goalkeeper, Colin McCabe (19) on a 28 day emergency loan due to our goalkeeper Graham Bowman sustaining an injury in training.
“Colin, 6ft 4ins, is currently playing in the Celtic Development squad and has represented Republic of Ireland at U19 level. The club would like to wish Colin well during his loan period at the club.”
McCabe is the latest player to be sent out on loan with Liam Henderson and Anthony Stokes the two highest profile players in that category.
Yesterday both players helped Hibs to a 2-2 draw at Tynecastle in the Scottish Cup despite being 2-0 down at half-time.
