Thread: Celtic Awards Night

Irish eyes are smiling at Celtic awards night

Newsroom Staff
THE annual Celtic Player of the Year Awards were held last weekend, and it proved to be a great night for the Irish.

Aiden McGeady won the Players’ Player of the Year, Paddy McCourt’s wonder striker against St Mirren back in September was voted Goal of the Season, and Robbie Keane picked up the Player of the Year Award as voted for by the supporters.

In fairness, the Irish captain admitted to being slightly embarrassed at having won and said he thought the award should have gone to McGeady.

The event in the Thistle Hotel was a gathering of players and supporters as the annual awards were given out after what has been a very difficult and disappointing season.

The Young Player of the Year Award, sponsored by Thomas Cook, was won by 19-year-old defender Josh Thompson, who has seized his first-team opportunity in impressive style.

The Top Goalscorer of the Year Award, sponsored by Ladbrokes, was shared by Robbie Keane and Georgios Samaras, both of whom have netted 13 goals this season, while there was also a special mention for Scott McDonald’s contribution prior to his departure for Middlesbrough.

The Carling Goal of the Season, as voted for by Celtic supporters, was won by Paddy McCourt.

The ‘Derry Pele’s’ mesmerising goal against St Mirren, when he beat five men before firing home was a clear and popular winner.

Aiden McGeady picked up the Players’ Player of the Year Award, sponsored by Avia Signs. And, again, he was a clear and popular winner amongst his team-mates.

The Player of the Year Award, sponsored by Cash For Gold, was won by Robbie Keane for his 13 goals since joining the club at the end of January.

And probably the most popular award of the night was the Special Recognition Award, sponsored by Scottish Leader, which went to John Kennedy, who received a standing ovation when he went up on stage to receive the award from his friend and former team-mate, Shaun Maloney.

Robbie Keane POTY? What a joke...

They should have just scrapped the whole thing. No-one deserved to win any awards after this disaster of a season.

keane has been basically the only decent player since he signed, still deserves it imo

Irish bastards taking over :p

I'd be ashamed to pick up an award like this after the season we've had

fucking paddys

YPOTY, Josh Thompson? what?

I’m more disgusted at McGeady getting the award than I am Keane.



The other cunts in the squad must be embarrassed that we, the fans, voted a guy who has only been here like 3 months as our best player. Serves them fucking well right, they’re shite and they deserve to know it. I hate nearly all of them.

It's fucking dumb to give out the top goalscorer award before all the games have been played.
