One week on from winning the Glasgow Cup Dylan Corr has signed for Raith Rovers.
This time of year some big decisions are taken with the 18-year-old not being offered another contract after starting out with the Celtic u-7 squad.
At Raith Rovers he will find the path to first team football far less cluttered with the realistic goal of seeing Championship action early next season after a solid grounding at Celtic.
Corr was a half-time substitute at Ibrox last week and was blameless as two sloppy goals were given away to take the match into a penalty shoot-out.
Josh Clarke in goals excelled himself with four saves from seven penalties to spark wild celebrations for the visitors.
It was Corr’s last appearance in the hoops, going out with a winners medal is about as good as it gets for a farewell match.
Back in 1999 his dad, Barry John made one first team substitute appearance for the Celtic first team, replacing Jonathon Gould in a win away to Hearts at Tynecastle.
? Welcome to Raith Rovers, Dylan Corr.
We are delighted to announce Dylan Corr has signed a pre-contract from Celtic and will complete the move in June.
The 18-year-old made 34 apps for Celtic B team last season, playing in the Lowland League and UEFA Youth League.#YouBelong pic.twitter.com/Dl5rHK8h2M
