Celtic youngster Jack Aitchison has left the club on loan.
On a hectic day for Celtic, the departure of Jack Aitchison almost slipped under the radar.
Aitchison became Celtic’s youngest ever goalscorer in their illustrious history at just 16-years-old.
Since that special moment, Aitchison has struggled to kick on and get near to the Celtic first team.
Loan spells in Scotland first with Alloa and Dumbarton have been unproductive, yielding just one goal combined.
Aitchison is now 19, and has made a loan move to Forest Green Rovers, BBC Sport reported.
This is a different tact from Celtic in both destination and timing.
Sending him to England is taking the teenager out of his comfort zone and challenges Aitchison to make a completely fresh start, with less pressure than he faced in Scotland.
The timing is better too, with Aitchison getting the whole season at his new loan club to develop and make an impact.
His previous loan spells had both come midway through the season in January.
Celtic fans are hopeful that Aitchison can kick on and become a success…
