Ayr United manager Gary Naysmith has secured the signing of highly-rated Celtic midfielder Thomas Hatton on a season-long loan deal.
Loan Deal Confirmed
The 20-year-old winger has penned a loan deal at Somerset Park until the end of the season, subject to SFA approval. The move was announced on the club's social media page.
Hatton, who is highly regarded as a rising star at Celtic, recently featured in the Hoops' 2-2 draw with Italian giants AC Milan, coming off the bench and almost scoring with a sensational solo run and shot.
Manager's Swoop
His progression through the ranks at Lennoxtown, along with his direct style of play, made him a wanted man for a number of other clubs. However, Naysmith moved quickly to secure the youngster's services as he looks to bolster his midfield options.
