Pre-season planned to show Celtic players what it takes to reach the top
Lurgan Celtic have taken a few batterings in their pre-season games, conceding eight last Thursday night at Crusaders, but there is method in the madness by manager Colin Malone.
“We have had a few drubbings but it shows us the distance we have to go to become what it takes to be a Premiership side,” said Malone.
“You can’t get any tougher than the Irish League champions - they are able to field two different sides. It lets the players see what level they have to get to and I have asked the players to ask themselves how many of our team would the backroom staff at the Crues want and the answer is none.
