Stephen McManus' side secured a 3-2 win against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday
Celtic U19s got back to winning ways in the UEFA Youth League with a superb 3-2 triumph against RB Leipzig – and fans have been quick to sing the praises of teenage starlets Francis Turley and Daniel Cummings.
Stephen McManus' side went into Tuesday's tie having lost back-to-back games against Atalanta and Borussia Dortmund after claiming a victory over Slovan Bratislava on matchday one. But the young Hoops raced into a 3-0 lead after 65 minutes through a brace from striker Cummings and wide man Josh Dede before late goals from Leipzig's Mika Walther and Jamie Schuldes set Celtic up for a nervy finish in Glasgow.
But Celtic were able to hold on and keep their hopes of progressing to the knockout rounds alive, with boyhood Parkhead fan Cummings and Northern Ireland youth international Turley taking the plaudits from some supporters on social media.
But the most eye-catching bit of praise was saved for Turley - who was handed a first team debut by Rodgers as a late substitute in a Premiership win against St Mirren back in August - with one user labelling the talented midfielder as the "Ardoyne Pele" in reference to the Belfast neighbourhood where the 18-year-old was born.
