Celtic’s Development side made it three wins in a row last night with a 3-2 win over Motherwell at Dumbarton last night.

It was a very youthful Celtic side with four of the substitutes called up from the u-17 squad including Ciaran Diver who scored a first half hat-trick in the 8-0 win away to Hearts on Wednesday night.

Goalkeeper Aidan McAdams was with the first team squad at St Johnstone on Sunday and was given a starting place with Conor Hazard on the bench and on stand by for the first team against Caley Thistle.

19 min: PJ Crossan took a pass 30 yards from goal, shrugged aside one challenge then drilled a great shot into the net from 20 yards out.

26 min: Mark Hill gets the break of the ball 20 yards from goal and drills a low shot into the net (caution you may hear a sweary as Motherwell give away possession).

33 min: Great trickery from Sam Wardrop out wide, his cross into the penalty box is met by a firm header from Crossan, burying it from six yards out.

Motherwell pulled two goals back in the second half but were unable to take a point, on Monday Celtic face Hearts in the Development League at Ochilview with a 7.30pm kick off.

CELTIC: McAdams; Wardrop, Kerr, Kelleher, Miller; Hendry (Duffy 90), McManus, Hill (Payne 62), Johnston; Crossan, Aitchison (McInroy 85)
Not Used: Hazard, Welsh, Church, Diver.
