# Celtic: Ciaran Dickson scores for Hoops’ B team

**Ciaran Dickson appears to have completed a move to Celtic after turning out for the Hoops’ B team against Morton on Saturday, as per [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7654184/ciaran-dickson-celtic-rangers-debut-b-morton/).**

### The Lowdown: Dickson was pictured with a Celtic shirt recently

Dickson, who was described as [‘terrific’](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7654184/ciaran-dickson-celtic-rangers-debut-b-morton/) by Steven Gerrard last season, was a surprise release at Ibrox in the summer.

The 19-year-old only signed a new [deal](https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/ciaran-dickson-signs-contract-extension/1XNCI5eEDUCb167Y2aLIVC) with Rangers back in January but was [let go](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ciaran-dickson-among-10-rangers-20769076) at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.

The midfielder was [pictured](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7633165/rangers-ciaran-dickson-celtic/) holding up a Celtic shirt last week, leading to rumours of a cross-Glasgow switch materialising.

### The Latest: Debut goal for Dickson

Dickson actually turned out for Celtic against Morton in the SPFL Trust Trophy on Saturday, as reported by [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7654184/ciaran-dickson-celtic-rangers-debut-b-morton/).

Wearing the [number 10](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58386542) jersey, he scored on his debut after [30](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58386542) minutes to halve a 2-0 deficit for his team.

Celtic went on to lose [3-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58386542), but it seems as if Dominic McKay may have sealed an under-the-radar addition to the club’s youth ranks in Dickson, with a [tweet](https://twitter.com/CelticFCB/status/1434162263259295747) from the club’s B team account labelling the 19-year-old as a new signing.

### The Verdict: Shrewd move?

Dickson is a player who clearly caught the eye of Gerrard last season and was of interest to Premier League side [Burnley](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7654184/ciaran-dickson-celtic-rangers-debut-b-morton/), so a cut-price move to Celtic Park seems to be a smart piece of business from McKay.

The Hoops appears to be building for the future with the signings of [youngsters](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) Liel Abada, Liam Shaw, Liam Scales, Osaze Urhoghide and [Joey Dawson](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Celtic-sign-highly-rated-young-striker-Joey-Dawson/), and it looks as if Dickson can now be added to that list judging by his B team appearances over the weekend.
