McGuinness buys Celtic’s selling policy
Appointed last November, Donegal’s All-Ireland winning manager works with all the development and academy players at U20 level in the club. “I’m involved in a project in terms of development,” he said. “Celtic are now bringing players in and they’re trying to develop them. They’re trying to get as much money for them as possible and they’re trying to sell them on. They’re a selling club at the moment and they’ve been very successful in identifying very talented players. These are going through the stages of development as they’re very young. If you can add anything to those players and the ones coming through the academy, it leaves the club in a very sustainable place,” said McGuinness, who was speaking at the launch of Celtic FC’s partnership with the GAA in three pilot development camps for young people called “Let’s Go, Lead Through Sport”.
Catering for boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 16, the first two will be held in Ballymote, Sligo, and Lurgan, Armagh, this summer with one scheduled to take place in Dublin later this year.
