The Youth Interview Extended Stay

- Joe Donnelly

AN impressive Glasgow Cup-winning season in Tommy McIntyre’s reserves last campaign earned Scott Robertson a call up to the first-team’s pre-season summer tour of Austria and Switzerland last month. Shortly after that, the attacking midfielder was offered a new two-year deal at Paradise, and now the 18-year-old can’t wait to get the new domestic calendar underway.

Before that, the Celtic View caught up with Robertson to hear how his pre-season went and what his goals are for the weeks and months ahead.

YOU STEPPED UP TO THE FIRST-TEAM’S SUMMER TRAINING CAMP THIS YEAR, HOW WAS THE EXPERIENCE?

It was really good. Joining the first-team in Austria was great and was invaluable experience for me at this early point pre-season. I didn’t have much advance notice about being called up. I got the text on my phone that let me know I was added to the group chat, and that was when I knew I was going. That was only about two days before we set off. My Mum and Dad were really pleased for me.
