Calvin Miller scored the only goal of the game as Celtic enjoyed a 1-0 win at Murray Park which was much more convincing than the scoreline suggests.

The young hoops dominated every area of the park as they returned to action after the winter break to go five points ahead of the Murray Park Allstars despite having played four matches less.

Graeme Murty is the latest coaching guru to take charge at Sevco but he had no answer to the power, pace and purpose of Tommy McIntyre’s side despite having Real Madrid target Billy Gilmour leading their ‘attack’.

The only goal arrived just before the break when Theo Archibald raced down the left with his cross met perfectly by Miller who rattled the ball past kid gloves Robbie McCrorie into the net from 15 yards out.

Celtic have won on every visit to Murray Park since 2008.

On Sunday Celtic turn their attention to the SFA Youth Cup when the travel to face Hibs at Ainslie Park, home of Spartans.
