Kerr McInroy has joined Dunfermline Athletic on a season long loan.
The midfielder made the bench for the Celtic first team in February 2018 under Brendan Rodgers but his progress was halted by a torn anterior cruciate ligament in May of the following year.
McInroy played in a couple of reserve matches before Lockdown with the move to his hometown club giving him the perfect platform to get competitive action in the season ahead.

McInroy broke into the Celtic reserve side midway through the 2016/17 season as a 16-year-old, catching the eye with his box to box play with an instinct for getting a goal from outside the penalty box.
In pre-season he played at left-back against Ross County and Hibs but is much more at home in the centre of the park.
With no sign of any competitive football beyond the first team getting younger players out on loan to full time clubs is a priority for the club.
When his loan ends Ryan Christie and Olivier Ntcham will be in the final year of their contract, with Scott Brown hitting the age of 36 a strong season at Dunfermline could open the first team door for McInroy at Celtic.
Believe it or not he is 20 years old?? @kerrmcinroy7 https://t.co/BapZZWoI0w
