Carlisle United’s new signing Dylan McGeouch was once labelled Celtic’s wonder Bhoy after making his debut in November 2011 aged just 18.
The midfielder was tipped for a massive future by manager Neil Lennon when he gave him his first start for the Hoops.
The teenager picked up the ball in his own half and set off on a mazy 60-yard run before finishing off with an accurate low left-foot drive past Paisley keeper Craig Samson for the team’s fifth goal.
Unfortunately, it was a false dawn in the youngster’s launch into the big time and, following just one other strike, he was on his way from Celtic to Hibs in August 2015.
The highlight of his time at Easter Road, where he was again managed by Lennon, was the Scottish Cup Final win over Mark Warburton’s Rangers side in 2016.
He was signed by Jack Ross for Sunderland during the club’s first season in League One in 2018. After just 30 league appearances in 18 months at the Wearsiders, the ball-playing middle-of-the-park operator moved to Aberdeen.
However, Pittodrie gaffer Jim Goodwin decided against offering him a contract renewal and the player signed a short-term contract with Forest Green Rovers last term.
McGeouch, now 30, was a free agent after leaving the club in the summer and he has now penned a two-year deal with newly-promoted Carlisle.
