Many Celtic fans have been reacting to the news that defender Stephen Welsh has signed a new deal at the club.
The club announced today that the 21-year-old, who has come through the ranks at Parkhead, has signed a new deal with the club taking him into the summer of 2025. This season has been something of a breakthrough season for Welsh, making 16 appearances in all competitions including three in the Europa League.
And whilst there hasn’t really been much to smile about for the club this season both on and off the pitch, the fact that one of their own has managed to be tied down for the foreseeable future was a welcome relief to a number of supporters online and they couldn’t contain their excitement:
“Superb. Great prospect. Hasn’t put a foot wrong”
Is Stephen Welsh future captain material?
Yes
No
Whilst there is still plenty of talk about who is going to be the man in the dugout at Celtic Park next season, it looks as if we know one person who is going to be involved for the new boss, whoever it may end up being.
