# Celtic: Fans take umbrage with caption on tweet about Adam Montgomery’s goal for under-18s against Inverness

**Celtic’s academy Twitter channel [@CelticFCAcademy](https://twitter.com/CelticFCAcademy/status/1227338312685322240) shared a clip of a stunning goal from a recent encounter, although a few fans of the club took issue with the accompanying caption.**

The clip shows Celtic’s under-18 side working the ball out from the back against their Inverness Caledonian Thistle counterparts with some slick passing play before Adam Montgomery surged forward from the halfway line and played a neat-one two, capping the move with a sumptuous Cruyff turn and composed finish. It was described as a “great individual goal” by [@CelticFCAcademy](https://twitter.com/CelticFCAcademy/status/1227338312685322240), although many Hoops fans felt that the wording did not do justice to the work of Montgomery’s team-mates in the build-up to the goal.

The youngster who claimed the goal [turns 18 in July](https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=123776) and may hope to follow in the footsteps of academy products such as [Mikey Johnston](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikey-johnston/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/297257), [Callum McGregor](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/callum-mcgregor/profil/spieler/120977) and [James Forrest](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-forrest/profil/spieler/84992) in establishing himself in the first team, with Karamoko Dembele, Scott Robertson and Stephen Welsh among the current young crop to have been [given a chance by Neil Lennon this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/leistungsdaten/verein/371).

These Celtic fans on Twitter seemed to enjoy Montgomery’s finish but were also keen to acknowledge his team-mates’ involvement in the goal:

> 5 players involved in that goal, great effort by the boy but wasn’t an individual effort.
