Celtic wonderkid Lucas Clearie continues remarkable goalscoring form with Scotland strike
Celtic youngster Lucas Clearie continued his impressive goalscoring form with a goal for Scotland Under-19s in their 3-1 victory over Kazakhstan this week.
The 17-year-old striker was introduced from the bench in the 73rd minute and needed only a matter of minutes to make his mark.
After Tommy North regained possession and played him through, Clearie demonstrated excellent pace and composure to round the goalkeeper before slotting into an empty net.
The goal continued a remarkable run of form for the Celtic academy prospect, who has been prolific for the club’s B team.
Across the Lowland League and KDM Evolution Trophy, Clearie has registered 23 goals and three assists in 40 appearances this season.
Eighteen of those goals have come in 35 Lowland League outings, while he has also netted five times in just five KDM Evolution Trophy matches.
Remarkably, the teenager has achieved those numbers in only 2,013 minutes of football, averaging a goal approximately every 88 minutes.
Clearie has also started just 21 of his 40 appearances, with the remaining 19 coming from the substitutes’ bench.
His latest international strike follows a hat-trick for Celtic B against Beith, further underlining his impressive development.
