A large portion of the Celtic fan base was dissatisfied with Daniel Kelly’s summer transfer to Millwall from Celtic.
Even if Celtic paid £400,000 for a player they could have lost for nothing in December, it is still painful to see Kelly’s potential go to an English Championship team.
Kelly made his full debut last season, having broken into the Celtic matchday squad at the age of 18. The boy was demonstrating that the team had a good player in their youth ranks after scoring against Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup.
But since Kelly’s contract was expiring, the kids had the upper hand. The Celtic academy graduate also declined a £5,000-a-week contract and chose to sign with Millwall last week, despite reports that he wanted to stay.
Walker: Daniel Kelly made the “right decision” by leaving Celtics

Walker stated, “I’m covering Hull and Millwall,” on The Go Radio Football Show. It appears that Millwall signed teenager Daniel Kelly from Celtic for a hefty £400,000 sum.

“A young player finds it extremely tough to acquire a regular game, to advance, and to develop better at Celtic, Rangers, and, honestly, most Scottish football teams.
