Aidan Nesbitt the hat-trick hero as Celts U19s hammer HJK HelsinkiA FIRST-HALF scoring spree from Celtic’s attacking players gave the Bhoys’ Under 19 squad a solid victory over HJK Helsinki in the first-leg of their UEFA Youth League first round qualifier in Finland. A scintillating five minute spell from Tommy McIntyre’s side half an hour into the game saw strikes from Regan Hendry, Aidan Nesbitt and Calvin Miller all find the back of net to assert the Celts' ’ dominance in the match and the tie overall. A double from Nesbitt within 20 minutes of the restart then gave the Hoops playmaker a well-earned hat-trick and his side complete control going into next month’s second-leg at the Almondvale Stadium in Livingston.
