Three Indian boys selected for Celtic FC visit

Three Under-14 boys have been selected by the youth coaches from Scottish giants Celtic Glasgow FC to fly in mid-August to Glasgow for 10 days to see Celtic in action, their facilities, train with the Academy and more.

In total 22 boys had been selected from the Mahindra Youth Football Challenge inter-city finals for a special four day camp with the Celtic coaches and they would then decide to invite two to four boys to Glasgow. In the end three were selected in Bishal Harijan and Jayanto Mondal, who both are from Kolkata's Sukantanagar Vidyaniketan; and Mani Maran R. from Government Sports High School, Bangalore.

It is a once in a life-time opportunity for the three young footballers, who can follow-up on the things they have learned over the duration of the Mahindra Youth Football Challenge tournament and now in the camp under the Celtic coaches.

"The Mahindra Youth Football Challenge has been a great success. It provided a platform and opportunity for young players from across India to showcase their talent and, hopefully, earn a chance to further enhance their abilities when they visit Glasgow in August. Glasgow Celtic FC is very proud to be part of such a project," said Stephen Frail, the head coach of the Celtic Youth Academy.

"The enthusiasm and dedication of all the players, not just the selected 22, has been first class and a credit to the boys, their schools and their families. Hopefully, they have learnt something new and leave with lifelong memories," he added.
