Celtic youngster Jack Aitchison enhanced his reputation this past weekend.

Jack Aitchison of Celtic scores during the UEFA Youth Champions League match between Celtic and Valencia at Celtic Park on February 10, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic fans on Twitter have reacted to Jack Aitchison’s heroics for Scotland Under-19s this past weekend.

The 18-year-old Celtic attacker scored twice for his nation’s youth side in a 2-0 win over the Netherlands, with the second goal being a fine finish.

Aitchison seems to be going from strength to strength and last week the youngster posted a dazzling performance in a 4-0 win over Kilmarnock for the Hoops’ development side, scoring in that one too.

The prodigious talent hasn’t played for Celtic’s senior side since last April and fans of the Parkhead side believe Brendan Rodgers should change that between now and the end of the season.

Aitchison remains Celtic’s youngest-ever goalscorer after coming off the bench to fire a seventh goal in an end-of-season drubbing of Motherwell in the 2015-16 campaign, when he was 16.

With a 10-point gap from second-placed Rangers, Rodgers’s side have effectively wrapped up a seventh successive Premiership title and it’ll be interesting to see if the Hoops boss uses Aitchison in some of the less-important games between now and May.
