Liverpool and Rangers keen on signing Celtic trialist

Roy Hodgson is keen on signing 16-year-old Celtic trialist Tony Watt after he impressed in a recent performance.

The Airdrie United striker is currently training with the Hoops and has attracted interest from Liverpool and Rangers.

Watt caught the eye of Liverpool scouts during a friendly between Celtic’s under-17s and the Reds young guns.

The promising front man has appeared 13 times for Airdrie with two goals to his credit.

“We received lots of positive feedback from Celtic. They say he worked very hard. Rangers want to take a look at him as well, so he will go in there for a couple of days,” Airdrie United boss Jimmy Boyle said.

"If it's going to improve his fitness and help his football education then it's going to benefit Airdrie.”
