Midfield steel key to Celtic’s success

December 23rd, 2011 by Joseph Brady

Celtics nervy start to the campaign seems a distant memory. Much of the credit must go to youngsters such as Victor Wanyma and James Forrest, the pair have shown maturity beyond their years, managing to consistently perform when more experience players languished.
