CELTIC academy coach Tommy McIntyre has toasted a successful end to 2014.

 

The development squad rounded off the year with a commanding 2-0 victory over Dundee United at Cappielow on Monday night, just four days after beating Sunderland 2-1 in the Premier League International Cup.

Paul McMullan and Aidan Nesbitt got the goals against the Arabs, and McIntyre told the official Celtic website: "It was a professional display. We had a lot of the ball and a lot of possession.

"Sometimes that can be difficult, particularly against a team that sits in and tries to hit you on the break. You have to keep moving it quickly, which we did.

"We never gave them any opportunity to build momentum or get into the game so that was pleasing, too."
