Jamie Lindsay is relishing his loan spell at Greenock Morton and believes it has improved him as a player

- Mark Henderson

JAMIE Lindsay’s experience on loan at Morton this season is something that he’s thrived on, and the young Celtic midfielder has seen definite improvements in his own game through regularly playing for Jim Duffy’s side.

The 21-year-old has helped his side reach the semi-final of the League Cup, where they narrowly lost out to Aberdeen, while they are pushing for promotion, with a play-off spot a realistic target. During a visit back to Celtic’s Lennoxtown Training Centre last week, he spoke to the Celtic View about the positive benefits he’s gained from going out on loan…

We’re just past the halfway point of the season. How satisfied have you been with how things have gone for you at Morton?

It’s been brilliant and I’ve absolutely loved it. I’ve been playing every week and we’ve been doing well. We’ve been winning and we’re in the top four, so hopefully if we can keep playing the way we have been we can get in the play-offs. And it’s definitely been good for me. If you look at the games we’ve had – the likes of Aberdeen in the League Cup semi-final and the Rangers game there in the Scottish Cup – we’ve played some big games, which has been good for my development, so I’ve really enjoyed it.

How much do you feel you’ve grown up as a player in the past six months?
