Who is Charlie McCann? Manchester United supporters might know the name after he scored in Celtic B v Rangers B today.

The Hoops and their bitter Ibrox rivals face off in a senior Scottish Premiership game on Monday.

But first, the kids from both Celtic and Rangers are doing it today, at Parkhead.

The Bhoys, managed by Darren O’Dea, fell behind on 15 minutes when the Gers won a penalty from Zak Lovelace.

And McCann stepped up and opened the scoring.

Who is Charlie McCann?

Rangers signed the 20-year-old midfielder from Manchester United in 2021 [official website].

Giovanni van Bronckhorst seemed to be an admirer of the Coventry-born starlet, playing him in three Scottish Premiership games – two last season, one in September.

Earlier in 2022, McCann switched international allegiances from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland [BBC Sport].

Rangers fans were buzzing to sign the then-teenager [HITC Sport] and it’s clear he has a bright future.

Whether he can impress Michael Beale as much as his predecessor remains to be seen.

How much did Rangers pay for Charlie McCann?

According to BBC Sport in 2021, at the time of his arrival to Glasgow, the light Blues shelled out £750,000 to Manchester United for the starlet.

It is currently half time in Celtic B v Rangers B, with Rocco Vata – profiled by HITC Sport – equalising before the break to make it 1-1.
