Rocco Vata was spotted training with the Celtic first team at Lennoxtown ahead of the Scottish Cup tie away to Dundee United.Â
The goal-scoring winger has made great strides in the Lowland League this season with Ange Postecoglou’s door open to everyone at the club.Â
Dane Murray, Owen Moffat, Joey Dawson and Ben Doak have all made it onto the pitch and while none of them are close to nailing down a place they have all taken the first step.Â
Great to see Rocco Vata training with the first team squad… ?? https://t.co/mzfDpMJaJZ

Vata has scored seven goals this season in the Lowland League, Ben Summers was also spotted in training has scored six times.Â
