WATCH: Patrick Roberts fires warning shot to Celtic’s rivals with stormer for development side

Star in the making

Darragh Murphy

Surely Patrick Roberts has done enough to earn a starting place under Ronny Deila.

The 18-year-old signed for Celtic on an eighteen-month loan deal last month but has been paying his dues (in some style) for the Hoops’ development side.

Roberts turned in 75 minutes against Dunfermline on Monday night and his performance has left plenty of Celtic fans crying out for his inclusion in the first team.

The winger scored two and set up another during the 4-1 victory which goes some way towards explaining the €15 million fee paid by Manchester City for the youngster last summer.
