Highly-rated Celtic academy kid completes English Premier League move

Celtic academy youngster Conall Glancy has signed for English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. 

The 16-year-old scored 15 goals for Celtic’s Under-16s in 2024/25.

Glancy has been with the Parkhead club for a decade. He can operate off the right wing and in central areas. 

He joins Spurs as a first-year scholar in the Under-18s.

Several Celtic youngsters have swapped Glasgow for England in recent years, such as Ben Doak, Aidan Borland, and Rocco Vata.

Two academy graduates featured in the club's Champions League playoff defeat to Kairat Almaty on Tuesday evening: Dane Murray and Colby Donovan. 

The former replaced Kieran Tierney in the 75th minute as Liam Scales moved to left-back, while Donovan came on for Anthony Ralston in extra time. 

Both players didn't put a foot wrong, although Celtic eventually crashed out on penalty kicks. 

"It's hugely disappointing, and I really feel for the supporters that travelled all the way to be here, the effort and the commitment that they've shown to be here," said manager Brendan Rodgers post-match. 

"We're bitterly disappointed for them as well as ourselves because the Champions League is a wonderful competition and we've seen that last year, we've seen the progress. 

"But yeah, we would just have to, as we always do, we have to stick together as a squad and as a team and reflect on this, and we've got a huge game at the weekend. So yeah, it's a tough one to take. We didn't do enough over the two games."
