Kennedy looks for more

Celtic maintained their push towards the u-20 title with a 1-0 win at Falkirk last Tuesday but not much about the performance pleased John Kennedy.

Six wins and a draw from the last seven matches in the league have put the young hoops in a commanding position without hitting the heights expected by the backroom team.

Bahrudin Atajic struck the only goal of the match when he latched onto a slack back-pass but Celtic were unable to build on that with Falkirk pushing hard for an equaliser in the closing stages.

“It’s good to be picking up wins but we’re asking the players to give us more,” Kennedy admitted. “We want a more polished performance than they’ve shown even though they are getting results.

“I thought that Falkirk were excellent and probably deserved something from the game, they were a real threat.

“Our goalie and back four deserve credit, they kept a clean sheet and that’s a positive to take.

“The players are working hard in training so hopefully we’ll turn a corner and get performances as well as results. At this level we want performances to show that they are good players able to step up to the next level which is the first team.”

Kennedy added: “We’ve had a few injuries but we have a bunch of good players desperate to play, when they do come in it’s upto them to show that.

“We have faith in our younger players to come in, we just need a bit more from everyone in terms of their performances.”

On Tuesday Celtic face Aberdeen at Firhill with a 3pm kick-off.
