|

Daryl Murphy Celtic newsDaryl Murphy has picked up his first honour of the season- winning the Soccer AM Crossbar Challenge.

The Sky Sports cameras were along at Lennoxtown today to put the hoops through their paces.

The challenge invites players to strike the crossbar from the halfway line and is one of the most popular features on the Saturday morning television show.

No doubt some practise sessions were held ahead of the test with Paddy McCourt probably favourite to strike gold- or wood.

It was another Irishman who took the honours with Murphy picking up the coveted t-shirt and a day of bragging rights.

News of the event came from the most reliable of sources- Bishop Crosas of Twitter.

With 10,000 twitter followers the Catalan midfielder kept his fans upto date and invited guesses as to which of his team-mates took the honours.

Three fans came up with the right guess as Crosas revealed this afternoon.

Murphy and Crosas were in action of a different sort yesterday when Danny McGrain’s Development side lost 2-1 away to Newcastle.

Niall McGinn, who scored the Celtic goal, and Efrain Juarez were also in the team against a Newcastle XI looked after by Peter Beardsley.
