Celtic rising stars join Queen's Park on loan as club bolster promotion bid with double signing

Celtic youngsters Luca Connell and Ryan Mullen will join Queen's Park on loan until the end of the season.

The ambitious League Two side have bolstered their promotion bid with a double signing as they enter the business end of the campaign.

Connell has been on the fringes of the Parkhead side since his move from Bolton in the summer of 2019, while keeper Mullen has starred for Celtic's reserves in recent years and had a short stint on loan with Cove Rangers.

The pair will now get some valuable first-team football under their belt for the remainder of the campaign with the Spiders.

And Queen's Park boss Ray McKinnon is over the moon with the acquisitions.

He said: “I am absolutely delighted to get both deals over the line and get the players in for what is going to be a very busy period ahead.

“We have needed cover in the goalkeeping position and have been actively looking for some time so it’s very pleasing to have the opportunity to bring Ryan in.

"Luca is a very talented player who is left sided which will give us good balance in the squad and added competition for places.

“The acquisition of both players really does strengthen the squad for the run in.”
