Celtic midfielder Kerr McInroy has joined League One side Airdrieonians on loan.
The Lowdown: McInroy’s Celtic career
McInroy has been on the books at Parkhead for a number of years but is yet to make a competitive senior appearance for the Hoops.
The defensive midfielder spent time on loan with Dunfermline Athletic last year and made 22 appearances, with former manager Stevie Crawford labelling McInroy as ‘great’.
The 21-year-old started under Ange Postecoglou in a pre-season game against Sheffield Wednesday but has now left for Airdrieonians.

The Latest: Airdrieonians confirm transfer
Airdrieonians took to Twitter on Thursday evening to announce a loan deal for McInroy.
The Scot has penned a temporary move until January, though manager Ian Murray is hopeful of extending that further.
McInroy is out of contract at Celtic Park next summer, so it seems as if his underwhelming Parkhead career is drawing to a close.
The Verdict: Not good enough…
Airdrieonians boss Murray revealed that McInroy has been training with Celtic’s first-team every day, so he could prove to be a shrewd signing for the third-tier side.
However, he was obviously not good enough for Postecoglou, who, you’d expect, would have agreed to McInroy departing the club.
McInroy is now at the age where he needs regular first-team football, so it appears as if a move away makes sense for all involved.
