Craig
Beattie (b. January 16, 1984) is a football (soccer) player who
plays for Celtic F.C. in Glasgow, Scotland.
The pacey and direct striker announced his arrival on the first
team stage during Celtic's pre-season visit to Sweden, having
previously caught the eye at youth and under-21 level. He was a
schoolboy player at arch rival Rangers F.C., the team he
supported in his youth, but was released by then manager Dick
Advocaat and followed the path of other notable "boyhood Bears"
Kenny Dalglish and Danny McGrain by joining Celtic.
Already, Beattie has featured in numerous high-profile matches –
most notably against FC Barcelona in the UEFA Cup – and big
things are expected from him in future years. He is also a
Scotland international, having attained 1 cap as of December
2005. |
