Former Enniskillen Town United
goalkeeper, 19 year old Michael
McGovern (above), looks set to be on
the bench for Celtic tonight
(Thursday) when they play their
crucial UEFA cup tie against
Barcelona in the Nou Camp. Following the suspension of Rab Douglas and with Magnus
Hedman on loan at Ancona, Michael is next in line to David
Marshall who will be between the posts.
It was a confident Michael though that spoke to the Irish News on
Tuesday saying that he would be ready to step in and will
prepare for the game as if it is just another match.
Michael is currently on a one year deal with Celtic which he
signed last year at the end of his inital two year spell with the
club and is hoping to sign another contract which will keep him
at the Scottish giants.
Michael’s elevation to the first team squad has rounded off a
good week for the McGovern family with younger sister Aine just
back from captaining the Northern Ireland ladies U18 squad that
played in the Algarve Cup in Portugal. Ainé who has captained
the Northern Ireland team up through the ranks, would like
Michael, seem to have a big future in top level soccer.
