GOALKEEPERS:
LEO FASAN
Italian keeper Fasan has been a regular in the U20 side this season. He was also called upon by the first-team for the semi-final of the Scottish League Communities C up. He was named as a substitute due to Fraser Forster's injury and Robbie Thomson being cup-tied.
JORDAN HART
Hart is a goalkeeper, having joined Celtic at the age of eight years. He currently plays at U17 level but has progressed into the U20s squad. He has represented Scotland at U15s, U16s and U17s level. He has recently played in the U17 Euro qualifiers for Scotland.
COLIN McCABE
Keeper, McCabe, joined Celtic in January 2013 from Cavan Shamrocks and has been settling in well. The Irish teenager has been working hard with Colin Meldrum, the Academy goalkeeping coach.
DEFENDERS:
MARK BARROWMAN
Barrowman is a defender and joined Celtic in 2009. He is a current youth internationalist, having represented Scotland at U15s, U16s and U17s level. He has 21 International caps. He has played with Celtic U17s, U20s and Development Squad.
SHANE DINEEN
The defender signed for Celtic in 2012 and has been included in both U17 and U20 squads since. The teenager from Waterford has also represented Republic of Ireland at youth level.
GLENN EADIE
Eadie can play in both defence and midfield. He joined Celtic from Aston Villa Boys’ Club and has been at Celtic for three years now. He played in the Glasgow Cup final in 2012 but has been pushing into the U20 squad this year, and scoring when he came on as a substitute in the league match against Hamilton.
STUART FINDLAY
Central defender, Findlay, is a promising talent in the Hoops' Youth Academy. He was included in Neil Lennon's starting XI for the testimonial against Norwich City in May 2012 and has continued to impress as a regular in the U20 side this season.
FIACRE KELLEHER
Kelleher joined Celtic in December 2012. The defender is a youth internationalist with the Republic of Ireland and has represented them at U15s and U17s level. He currently has four international caps.
PADDY McNALLY
McNally has been pushing his way into the U20 squad this season. The central defender, who is 18-years-old, comes from Belfast and has already represented his country at youth level.
MIKEY MILLER
Miller turned 18 at the end of 2012 and has progressed greatly this season. He is now just as comfortable at right-back as he is in midfield. He has even been asked to fill in at left-back on the odd occasion and hasn’t looked out of place.
EOGHAN O'CONNELL
Central defender, O’Connell comes from Cork and has become an important part of the U20 set up in recent weeks. With Marcus Fraser’s injury he has been a regular in the starting XI and now has the chance to make the position his own.
CALUM WATERS
Captain of the U17s, Waters is also a Scottish youth internationalist with 23 caps. The left back has featured in the U20s and Development Squad for the Hoops as well as representing his country since U15 level.
MIDFIELDERS:
LUKE DONNELLY
Donnelly plays in midfield and joined Celtic at the age of eight. He played in the Bassvelde tournament where we came third, won the Galway Cup in 2012 and played in the Glasgow Cup final in 2012. He has represented Scotland at U15 and U16 level and currently represents Scotland U17s, having recently played in the Euro Qualifiers.
LIAM HENDERSON

LUIDGI HOAREAU
Hoareau made his debut for the Hoops against Ross County in February 2013. He came on as a substitute after joining the club at the start of the year. He impressed the coaches in Reunion, as part of Didier Agathe's Academy.
LEWIS KIDD
Central midfielder, Kidd, has had an excellent season playing alongside Jamie Lindsay. He has pushed on and developed since signing from Motherwell and has done well to keep up the good work Callum McGregor and Jackson Irvine did before him.
JAMIE LINDSAY
Lindsay began his career at Motherwell, where he played with Lewis Kidd, but it wasn’t long before he moved to Celtic. The midfielder has been a regular in the U20s this season and has a tendency to strike long range shots as well.
CONNOR McMANUS
McManus is a versatile youngster who is comfortable in both midfield and at the back. He joined Celtic in 2005 and is a current Scotland international youth player, with 13 caps at U16s and U17s. Connor has played with Celtic U17s, U20s and Development Squad.
FORWARDS:
JACK KIRWAN
Kirwan is another U17s player who is forcing his way into the U20 squad. He scored two goals against Inter Milan in the third place play-off on a recent trip to United Arab Emirates. He also captained Scotland at U16 level.
DENNY JOHNSTONE
Another Scotland internationalist, Johnstone is the grandson of former East Fife and Queen of the South player Bobby Black. The striker has found himself being used as a substitute more often than a starter this season though.
GARETH McDONAGH
Winner of 2012's Football's Next Star competition, McDonagh more than earned his place in Celtic's Youth Academy. He came through a series of trials throughout Ireland and Scotland to win the competition before joining the U17s in the summer. The striker is currently working hard to extend the one-year contract he was awarded.
PAUL McMULLAN
McMullan joined Celtic in 2005 and has been capped for Scotland at U15, U16 and U17 level. He has also featured for Celtic's U17s, U20s and Development Squad. On a recent trip to Moscow for the Spartak Cup, McMullan finished top goalscorer as well as winning the accolade for Best Goal.
