Johnny Kenny joins Queen's Park on loan from Celtic

Former Sligo Rovers striker Johnny Kenny has joined Scottish Championship side Queen's Park on a season-long loan from Celtic.

The teenager moved to Glasgow last january on a five-year deal but has yet to make a competitive debut with the first team.

Queen's Park, managed by Owen Coyle, were among several clubs interested in getting him on loan, with the 19-year-old coming off the bench on Saturday to help his new team to a 2-1 win at Arbroath.

In March Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou offered a positive synopsis on Kenny, who suffered a knee injury not long after making the move from Sligo. "We'll just see how it goes," Postecoglou said.

"We’re happy to get Johnny in. We had a sort of disrupted beginning where we had to go easy with him in terms of his training, so he’s back training fully and it’s great to see him playing again.

"It’s also great to see Mikey Johnston and Karamoko Dembele getting a run too [vs Partick].

"The reports I got back about all three were very good in terms of their attitude and the way they went about the game which is great."
