Celtic booked their place in the final of the SFA Youth Cup by beating holders Motherwell 1-0 in the semi-final at Cappielow.
It was a hard fought match that called on a number of different qualities from Tommy McIntyre as they earned a place in the Hampden final against Sevco.
The match winner was Aidan Nesbitt who knows a thing or two about the competition after scoring a hat-trick in the 5-2 final win over the Ibrox side in 2015.
Nesbitt has been on loan, and impressing, at Morton this season and was one of three players recalled for the match from Development Loans, the others being Joe Thomson and Aidan McIlduff.
At the other end of the spectrum Jack Aitchison is still eligible to play at u-17 level but missed out due to first team duty which could involve a start against Partick Thistle on Wednesday night.
Trophies are always rewarding but the real success is in bringing through the next Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor, Liam Henderson or James Forrest
AIDAN NESBITT
Is probably suffering due to comparisons with Kieran Tierney but the left-back is an exception.
Nesbitt is developing at his own pace, taking his skills out to the sometimes brutal opponents in The Championship.
Good news is he is still developing and improving. Last night he’d pop up almost anywhere on the park demanding the ball and ready to test opponents. He also has a predators instinct around goal.
MIKEY JOHNSTON
Has came on impressively since the turn of the year taking the massive leap up from u-17 to the u-20 Development League.
Johnstone has grown a good bit and is able to stand up to the more physical demands of this level of the game/
In the second half, with Motherwell pushing for an equaliser, he was always making himself available and taking the game to Motherwell at every opportunity.
JOE THOMSON
Put in a power of work in a holding midfield role and still found time to push forward and try his luck around goal.
Loan spells this season at Dumbarton and Queen of the South have clearly helped his game but it’s a competitive area in the team to make progress in as Kouassi Eboue is discovering.
A Premiership loan next season is essential if he is to make the big breakthrough at Celtic.
