An 11-year-old Celtic superfan with Down's Syndrome has been announced as the winner of the Scottish Professional Football League Goal of the Month for January after being invited to take part in a half-time penalty shootout challenge. Jay Beatty, of Armagh, accompanied Celtic for their 2-0 defeat of Hamilton on January 19 where he met players and was asked to take part in a shootout challenge during the interval - in which he duly obliged and scored before celebrating wildly in front of Celtic fans. And he was announced on Friday by former Celtic striker Georgios Samaras as the winner of the competition after receiving 97 per cent of the votes cast on the SPFL website, beating the likes of David Goodwillie and Gary Mackay-Steven.
