Lucas Clearie Is Becoming Impossible to Ignore — Celtic’s 17-Year-Old Striker Is Scoring for Fun

Celtic B striker Lucas Clearie has reached 20 goals in 16 appearances this season after netting a first-half hat-trick against Beith. The 17-year-old forward has been averaging a goal or an assist every 53 minutes across his appearances in the Lowland League and the KDM Evolution Trophy.

Writer Aodhán Ó Conchobhair argues that manager Martin O'Neill should consider offering Clearie a clear pathway toward the Celtic first team. While acknowledging senior options like Kasper Høgh and Camilo Durán, the author suggests Celtic gradually introduce Clearie or explore a strategic loan in January.
