Youth striker Watt earns bench spot

Youth team striker Tony Watt has been named as a substitute for Celtic’s trip to Motherwell.

The 22 goal former Airdrie striker was included in the squad that travelled to Kilmarnock to clinch the SPL title but missed out on a place on the bench.

Watt misses out on tomorrow’s SFA Youth Cup final against Queen of the South at Hampden through suspension but has impressed Neil Lennon with his performances for the Celtic development team.

Polish striker PaweYouthl Brozek makes his first team debut alongside Gary Hooper after making two substitute appearances since joining on loan in January.

Emilio Izaguirre returns to the starting XI for the first time in two months allowing Charlie Mulgrew to partner Thomas Rogne in central defence in front of Lucasz Zaluska.

CELTIC: Zaluska, Cha, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre: Commons, Yeung, Wanyama, Ledley: Brozek, Hooper

SUBS: Forster, Stokes, Bangura, McCourt, Lustig, Watt, Blackman
