BT Sport pundit Stephen Craigan has revealed that he has been told by Celtic Youth Coach Stephen McManus that youngster Liam Morrison is going to be a ‘superstar’.

The 16-year-old plays for the Bhoys Under-18’s age group where McManus is the coach. They recently participated in the Youth Cup Final at Hampden.

Unfortunately for Morrison, who played at the heart of the club’s defence, he was on the losing side to Old Firm rivals Rangers.

Speaking to BT Sport, as posted on their official Twitter account, Craigan who watched the youngsters in action spoke about the highly-rated player.

On who impressed: “Liam Morrison,” Craigan told BT Sport. “Steve McManus, whose in charge, he said ‘Liam’s 16. Just turned 16.’. He’s not even in full time yet, but he said he thinks he’s going to be a superstar. I think Hoffenheim have been linked with him already.”

There is still a long way to go for Morrison to work his way through Celtic’s ranks as he is seemingly one of their young, up and coming standout stars.

At this moment in time, the future of the Celtic manager is unclear with current boss Neil Lennon in charge of Parkhead proceedings until the end of the season.

Regardless of who is in charge next season, supporters will no doubt want a manager on the touchline that is willing to bring in the next generation.
