Loan Watch: Will's close encounter with Celtic

The latest on two of our players in the Scottish Premiership

29 January 2024

Will Nightingale clattered the Celtic crossbar as his current side Ross County ran the Scottish champions close at the weekend.

Our long-serving centre-back, making his nineteenth appearance of his loan to the Staggies, almost levelled the scores before the break in Parkhead, after the hosts had taken an early lead through a deflected effort on Saturday.

Former England number one Joe Hart came for a corner, but missed and Will headed the ball against the framework from close range in the 39th minute.

Ultimately though, the Scottish giants went on to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table with a 1-0 victory at Celtic Park, in front of a crowd of 58,850. Ross County are eleventh, as they aim to prolong their stay in the top flight.

Elsewhere in the Scottish Premiership, striker Zach Robinson netted the sixth goal of his latest loan spell with Dundee.

It what was also his nineteenth appearance of the campaign for the Dee, our Academy graduate netted the third goal in the 79th minute of a 4-1 victory away to Livingston - nine minutes after having come on as a substitute. Dundee are just below mid-table in seventh place.

Tricky forward Paris Lock earned a place in the Vanarama National League South team of midweek, for his performance in a Kent derby.

Paris returned to The Crabble, where he made an impression on loan to Dover Athletic earlier this season, but this time with Tonbridge Angels. The visitors went on to win 2-1 on Tuesday evening.

There was more game time for Paris at the weekend, but on this occasion mid-table Angels lost 3-1 away to Weston-super-Mare on Saturday.
