Schoolboy and young Hibs player Conlan Smith is celebrating after signing a pro youth contract with Celtic.
After being wooed by the Hoops, the youngster, who turns 11 on Saturday, has turned down the chance to stay at Scottish Premiership rivals Hibernian where he has spent the past year following his move from local club Gartcairn.
Celtic went on to "roll out the red carpet" for the talented left-sided defender, who can play at centre-half or wing back. Proud dad John admitted it was a tough phone call to make to Edinburgh's Hibs but told Lanarkshire Live Sport how Celtic gave his son the VIP treatment before signing the deal.
