Daniel Kelly Nets Again for Celtic B as Contract Uncertainty Grows

Daniel Kelly continues to prove his worth for Celtic B, finding the back of the net once again in their recent draw with Gala Fairydean Rovers. The young Hoops were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw after a late equaliser denied them the victory. Jude Bonnar and Kelly provided the goals for Celtic B, but the team couldn’t hold onto their lead in the closing stages of the match in Airdrie.

Kelly has been in fine form for the B team this season, having already scored the winner in their opening game. Despite his contributions on the pitch, the young talent’s future with Celtic remains unclear. Last season, Kelly was part of the first team, even managing to score on his debut. However, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers made the decision to demote him to the B team after the young player declined to sign a new contract.

What makes the situation even more disheartening for fans is that Kelly is a lifelong Celtic supporter himself. Seeing a young player who grew up supporting the club now seemingly on the brink of departure is a bitter pill to swallow for many.

Kelly’s contract is set to expire on 1st January, and he is now free to talk to other clubs and explore his options. Celtic supporters are understandably frustrated with the situation. The club’s struggle to retain young talents like Kelly has been a concern for fans, especially considering his impact last season.
