Evan Ferguson Reveals Celtic Trials and Boyhood Affinity
Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson has confessed his love for Celtic, revealing he went on trial with the Scottish Premiership champions when he was younger.
In an interview with OpenGoalSport on TikTok, Ferguson, 19, shared his admiration for Celtic and named Liam Scales, a Celtic defender and Ireland teammate, as his hero.
Ferguson’s affinity for Celtic stems from his boyhood, and he has previously trained with the club. When asked if Celtic had ever attempted to sign him, Ferguson replied: “No, I don’t think so. I went on a few trials when I was younger.”
The Irish striker’s talent has already made an impact in the English Premier League, scoring 12 goals at just 19. Ferguson joined Brighton from Bohemians at 16, suggesting his Celtic trials occurred before his move to England.
