Little Bhoy McGeady finds new maturity

AIDEN McGEADY walks into the interview room at the team’s Malahide Hotel and, within seconds, it is evident this is a young man who has done a lot of growing up in the last few years.

Four years ago, the Celtic winger was cornered for a quick chat by a group of journalists while on Under-21 duty in Dublin and the resultant five minutes were as agonising for those posing the questions as the teenager mumbling the answers.

With his monosyllabic replies and almost impenetrable Glasgow accent, McGeady divulged next to nothing but the maturity since then was obvious when he took a seat at a boardroom table this week.
