# Celtic: Luca Connell set for Queens Park loan

**Celtic have agreed a season-long loan deal with Queen’s Park for midfielder Luca Connell, according to [Mike McGrath of The Telegraph](https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1438782300385329152).**

### The Lowdown: Connell’s Celtic stay

Connell arrived in Glasgow back in [2019](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48810612) from Bolton Wanderers. The midfielder, who is on [£5,000 per week](https://footballleaguefc.com/celtic-fc-player-wages/) at Parkhead, signed a [four-year deal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48810612) with the Hoops.

He is [yet](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luca-connell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/580027/verein/371) to make a competitive appearance for the Hoops but has made a [handful](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luca-connell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/580027/verein/9043) of appearances for the reserve side.

The [Liverpool-born](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luca-connell/profil/spieler/580027) midfielder spent part of last season on [loan](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luca-connell/transfers/spieler/580027) with Queen’s Park, and it seems as if a return to the League One outfit is on the cards for the 20-year-old.

### The Latest: McGrath’s tweet

Reliable reporter [McGrath](https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1438782300385329152) took to Twitter on Friday morning to share news regarding Connell. He claimed that an agreement has been reached over a season-long loan move for the Irishman, tweeting:

> “Celtic have agreed a deal for Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Luca Connell to join Queen’s Park on a season-long loan”

### The Verdict: Good news

Connell has struggled to break into the first team plans under both Neil Lennon and Ange Postecoglou, so gaining some senior experience in League One seems to be a wise move.

Spending the majority of the 2021/22 campaign with Queen’s Park will hopefully make him stronger ahead of his Parkhead return, and he’ll know exactly what to expect with the Spiders following last season’s stint.
