Celtic starlet Johnny Kenny scored a late winner for Ireland's U21s as they defeated Iceland 2-1 at home.

He came off the bench during the final quarter of the friendly match and netted after only six minutes on the field.

Kenny is currently on a season-long deal at Shamrock Rovers from the Hoops after spending the first half of the campaign on the books of Scottish Championship leaders Queen's Park.

Iceland took the lead early in the match thanks to a goal from Kistall Mani Inagson before the hosts equalised due to a strike by Tom Cannon.

The visitors then went down to 10 men just before the break.

Jim Crawford's side huffed and puffed before Kenny ultimately scored the winner late on.

He collected the ball from a throw-in before beating his marker and firing the ball into the bottom corner from outside the box.

Meanwhile, ex-England international Trevor Sinclair has praised Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou, calling him "brilliant".

The 50-year-old spoke about the Australian after participating in a Legends match between Liverpool and the Hoops at Anfield.

And he had nothing but good things to say about Postecoglou's time at Parkhead so far.

"Could he leave a legend? Absolutely – as long as it’s not in the middle of the season, I’ll say no more on that!

"Listen, he’s been brilliant for the football club. He’s a very humble man, I think he’s quite shy actually.

"You see his speech after winning the first championship – we never stop – it’s almost like a motto for the football club now.

"I absolutely love the club from top to bottom and it’s great to have someone like him in charge.

"The style of football will attract a lot of Premier League interest. But then there’s the way he’s so competent in front of the media, he sticks up for himself and the football club, speaks really well.

"He won’t let journalists or anyone bully him. From the moment he walked through the door, I’ve been so impressed with him.

"I spoke to a few of the boys and I don’t think he’s the most social, a bit standoffish. So obviously he holds his court and his rules in place.

"Long may it continue. How much boys are playing for him shows how much they respect him and what he brings to the table.”

"I’m a huge Ange fan. He suits the club so well."
