Shane Duffy’s Celtic move given seal of approval by Ireland boss Stephen Kenny

Celtic's Shane Duffy celebrates scoring on his debut for the Scottish club

Shane Duffy revealed his Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny was right behind his decision to join Celtic.

Former Ireland defender Gary Breen had controversially claimed Duffy’s one-year loan move from Brighton to his boyhood heroes could affect the Irish side as he might pick up a few bad habits due to the lower level of striker he would face in Scottish football.
